Abstract: The platelike bainitic ferrite growth rates were calculated by two modified diffusional models. Good agreements between experimental and theoretical results are found in Fe-0.59C wt.%, Fe-0.81C wt.% and Fe-0.478C-4.87Ni wt.% alloys. A slowing down effect due to the alloying element Mo is emphasized in Fe-0.69C-1.8Ni-0.8Mo wt.% alloy. However, the experimental data are lower than theoretical ones about two orders in Fe-C-8.7Ni wt.% alloys. According to the discussion of the results, it is suggested that the bainite transformation mechanism may relates to steel composition and transformation temperature.

Abstract: The maximum number of carbon atoms adsorbed at edge dislocation was calculated using a model based on Boltzmann distribution. The number of carbon atoms adsorbed by edge dislocation increases with bulk concentration increasing and temperature decreasing. When the interfacial energy was chosen as 0.2J/mol, the maximum radius of carbon depleted zone is smaller than the critical radius required for displacive nucleation at 700K, however, larger than the critical radius at 600K. Moreover, the radius of carbon depleted zone around the dislocation at 600K is larger than that at 700K. It seems that bainite may nucleate by a displacive mechanism at lower temperature.
