The Developing Prospect of Air-cooled Bainitic Steels
Authors
Abstract:
The unique properties of air-cooled bainitic steels have been described. A series of Mn containing air-cooled bainitic steels invented by authors is presented in this paper: including low carbon granular bainitic steels, low carbon grain-boundary allotriomorphic ferrite/granular bainite duplex steels, medium and medium high carbon bainite/martensite duplex steel, and low carbon carbide free bainite/martensite duplex steels. The development of ultra-low carbon bainitic steels inChinais also introduced.

full textThe Microstructure of Continuously Cooled Tough Bainitic Steels
The influence of bainite morphology on the impact toughness behaviour of a continuously cooled cementite free low carbon C-Mn-B type of steel has been examined. Different bainite morphologies were obtained by cooling from the austenite regime to ambient temperature with different cooling rates. The resulting microstructures have been quantitatively analysed using light optical microscopy (LOM),...
full textAir cooled bainitic steels for strong, seamless pipes Part 2 – properties and microstructure of rolled material
In the first part of the present study, two steels were designed with the aim of achieving properties consistent with the specifications for the manufacture of seamless pipes. The alloys were intended to develop into mixtures of bainitic ferrite and carbon enriched retained austenite during cooling to ambient temperature from the pipe forming operations, thus avoiding the need for subsequent he...
full textAir cooled bainitic steels for strong, seamless pipes Part 1 – alloy design, kinetics and microstructure
Seamless pipes are usually quenched and tempered after manufacture in order to obtain the desired properties. The possibility of avoiding this heat treatment is explored here, by designing steels which transform into an carbide free bainitic microstructure during cooling from the hot processing phase of the pipe. The cooling conditions studied are appropriate for the manufacturing process and c...
full textHigh-Strength Bainitic Steels
With careful design, mixed microstructures consisting of fine plates of upper bainitic ferrite separated by thin films of stable retained austenite have exhibited impressive combinations of strength and toughness in highsilicon bainitic steels. The silicon suppresses the precipitation of brittle cementite leading to an improvement in toughness. The essential principles governing the optimisatio...
full textStrong 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...
