Critical assessment 20: On carbon excess in bainitic ferrite
نویسنده
چکیده
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 synchrotron and neutron X-ray diffraction, has provided new insights into carbon distribution within bainitic ferrite. Possible explanations for carbon excess in solid solution are discussed, and the pathways for the future advancement of this research question are suggested.

Solute 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 کاملExperimental Evidence for Non-Cubic Bainitic Ferrite
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 maintain...
متن کاملTempering of hard mixture of bainitic ferrite and austenite
Recent work has shown that bainitic ferrite plates produced by transformation at low temperatures can be as thin as 20 nm with a hardness in excess of 650 HV30, tensile strengthy2.3 GPa and toughnessy30 MPa m. Because these properties rely on the fine scale of the microstructure, a study has been carried out in relation to the tempering resistance of steel over the temperature range 350 – 750uC...
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...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Atom Probe Analysis of Carbon Distribution in Low-Temperature Bainite
A bainitic microstructure with fine ferrite plates (20 to 40 nm) in a matrix of high-carbon retained austenite, obtained by isothermal transformation at 200°C, was characterized with an energy-compensated optical position-sensitive three-dimensional atom probe. The average carbon concentration in the austenite was found to be 8.0±1.6 at.% and in the bainitic ferrite 1.1±0.7 at.%. The latter con...
