Microstructure Evolution in Low-Carbon Bainitic Steel during Tempering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microstructure evolution in low-carbon bainitic steel during tempering is investigated by hardness measurements and metallographical examinations. It is found that the microstructure evolution and the hardness variation can be divided into four stages when samples were tempered at 600°C and 700°C, and the evolution of bainte is similar to recovery and recrystallization of deformed metals. It is also found that the newly formed ferrite during recrystallization grows more rapidly along the long axis of bainite laths, and there is evidence of composition changing during recrystallization.
