The combined influence of prior plastic strain in the austenite, and applied stress in the course of the transformation, on the crystallographic texture of a bainitic steel was studied in this work. The experimental data were obtained using Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) method and analyzed using two methodologically different approaches. It was concluded that the plastic deformation ...

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 bai...

Nanostructured bainite was obtained in high-carbon Si-Al-rich steel by low-temperature (220-260 °C) isothermal transformation after austenitisation at different temperatures (900 °C, 1000 °C, and 1150 °C). Improved strength-ductility-toughness balance was achieved in the nanostructured bainitic steel austenitised at low temperatures (900 °C and 1000 °C). Increasing the austenitising temperature...

the development of nano/ultrafine bainitic structure in aisi 52100 steel was the goal of this study. for this purpose,the aisi 52100 the specimens were austenitized at 1050 °c for 60 min followed by low-temperature austemperingtreatment at different temperatures and times. the austempered samples were characterized using field emissionscanning electron microscopy (fesem), x-ray diffraction (xrd...

We examine here the physical aspects and input parameters of a recently published model on the overall transformation kinetics of the bainite reaction in steels.

Experimental results and explanations for the transition temperature from upper to lower bainites in carbon steels containing from 0.20 to 1.80 wt%C were presented metallographically and kinematically. The experimental results are summarized as follows: I) Lower bainite is not formed in steels with less than 0.35 wt%C and no transition from upper to lower bainite occurs. 2) The transition tempe...

SEPTEMBER 2006 -s 200 ABSTRACT. The relationship between alloying content, microstructure, and properties has been clarified for highstrength steel weld metals with 7 to 9 wt-% nickel. Neural network modeling suggested that manganese reductions and nickel additions in a controlled manner with respect to manganese lead to increased impact toughness. Carbon additions were predicted to enhance yie...

The T0 temperature in steel is defined as that at which ferrite and austenite of the same chemical composition have identical free energy. The T0 temperature is that below which it is possible for austenite to transform to ferrite of the same chemical composition after allowing for the strain energy due to the displacements associated with the transformation. Bainite is expected below the T0 te...
