To the design engineer, hardness often means an easily measured quantity which indicates something about the strength and heat treatment of a metal. Austempered ductile iron (ADI) is an alloyed and heat treated ductile cast iron which has a good combination of mechanical properties. This paper describes a neural network model created with a Bayesian framework using published data. The model created is capable of successfully expressing the hardness of austempered ductile irons and can be used as a tool in the processing or design of ADI.
