Experimental Evidence for Non-Cubic Bainitic Ferrite
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first evidence is provided for the existence of a tetragonal or slightly orthorhombic unit cell of bainitic ferrite. It supports the hypothesis that the excess carbon that persists in the ferrite, which is in contact with austenite, is a consequence of an increased solubility due to the change in symmetry from the conventional cubic unit cell. The deviations from the cubic cell are maintained to elevated temperatures, as expected from an increased solubility of carbon in the ferrite.

Critical assessment 20: On carbon excess in bainitic ferrite
For several decades, the question of carbon supersaturation in bainitic ferrite has attracted the attention of physical metallurgists. Originally, this was associated with excess carbon due to the displacive nature ofphase transformation and its subsequent trappingatdefects inbainitic ferrite. The development of advanced experimental techniques, such as atom probe tomography and in situ synchro...
متن کاملStrong Bainitic Steels by Continuous Cooling Transformation
Using metallurgical models, three steels were designed to obtain carbide-free bainitic structures in the as-rolled condition. Experimental castings were hot-rolled in a pilot mill and their austenite decomposition kinetics were measured using dilatometry. Tensile and Charpy impact properties were measured and the microstructures were characterised using X-ray diffractometry, optical and scannin...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Bainite Transformation in Fe-Based Alloys
The mechanism of the bainite transformation in carbon containing steels was discussed after presenting our recent experimental results; (1) the bainite transformation has its own C-curve, (2) incomplete phenomenon is a general feature of the bainite transformation, (3) bainitic fenite grows to a limited size, and (4) bainitic ferrite is highly supersaturated with respect to carbon. It was exami...
متن کاملSolute Trapped at Defects during the Displacive Formation of Bainitic Ferrite
New developments with bainite have resulted in a steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 2500 MPa, a hardness of 600-670 HV and a toughness in excess of 30-40 MPa m [1]. The novel microstructure is generated in a high carbon (0.98 wt.%) high silicon (1.46 wt.%) steel austenitized for 15 min. at 1000 oC, and then isothermally transformed at temperatures of ∼200 oC. Iron does not diffuse durin...
متن کاملThe Effects of Cr and Al Addition on Transformation and Properties in Low-Carbon Bainitic Steels
Three low-carbon bainitic steels were designed to investigate the effects of Cr and Al addition on bainitic transformation, microstructures, and properties by metallographic method and dilatometry. The results show that compared with the base steel without Cr and Al addition, only Cr addition is effective for improving the strength of low-carbon bainitic steel by increasing the amount of bainit...
