In the present investigation, low-caxbon-equivalent ductile iron (LCEDI) (CE = 3.06%, and CE represents cax- bon-equivalent) with 2.42% chromium was selected. LCEDI was austeintized at two difl'erent temperatures (900 and 975~C) a^ld soaked for 1 h and then quenched in a salt bath at 325~C for 0 to 10 h. Samples were analyzed using optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Wear tests were carded out on a pin-on-disk-type machine. The efl'ect of austenization temperature on the wear resistance, impact strength, and the mi- crostructure was evaluated.
