The Effect of Bainitic Transformation on Martensite Start Temperature of a Fe-C-Mn-Si Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The martensite start temperature (Ms) of a Fe-0.40%C-1.87%Mn-1.65%Si alloy with bainite and martensite dual phases was studied. The phase transformation dilation curves were measured and Ms temperatures of deformed and non-deformed specimens were obtained. Finally the effect of bainitic transformation upon Ms was investigated. The results show that bainitic phase transition affects the Ms and the increase of transformation results in the decrease of Ms. The mechanical stabilization of austenite due to ausforming is partially eliminated by bainitic transformation, which weakens the effect of ausforming on Ms.
