Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) has found enormous applications in recent years due to its high strength and hardness, coupled with substantial ductility and toughness. This material has replaced steel in most applications. Corrosion studies play an important role in the field of mechanical industry. Various corrosion testing methods available are electrochemical test, salt spray test, total immersion tests etc. The choice of the corrosion testing method depends upon many factors such as nature of environment, nature of exposure, type of specimen etc. In the present investigation, ductile iron castings conforming According to the ISO-standard No. 1083 (1976) there are six main grades of as-cast ductile iron denoted as 800/2, 700/2, 600/2, 500/7, 400/12, and 370/17 grade were produced in a regular ductile iron production foundry in green sand moulds. The castings were then subjected to standard austempering heat treatment cycle to bring about the changes in the microstructure and hence the mechanical properties. Austempering temperatures selected were 320°C and 400°C.
