A series of dilatometric tests has been carried out on ADI at different temperatures. The obtained experimental data are utilized to determine the parameter values of the considered kinetic equations. It is found that the transformation kinetics models by Starink, Austin and Rickett are substantially more effective at describing the ferritic transformation in ADI than the much celebrated Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that evaluating the kinetic parameters using the least squares method instead of calculating them from vastly used formulas can significantly improve the accuracy of the JMAK model’s predictions.}, type={Article}, title={Transformation Kinetics of Austempered Dductile Iron: Dilatometric Experiments and Model Parameter Evaluation}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/113629/PDF/AMM-2019-4-60-Suchocki.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.130141}, keywords={ADI, transformation kinetics, diffusional transformation, model characteristics}, }
