The Bainite Transformation Stage in the Processing of Trip-Aided Sheet Steels
Abstract
Two fundamental aspects of austenite stabilisation are investigated. Firstly, we examine the ‘transformation stasis’ or ‘incomplete transformation’ of bainite which determines the absolute maximum carbon content of residual austenite. A new criterion is proposed stating that the growth of bainite will stop when the instantaneous driving force for bainite growth vanishes because of the plastic resistance of the matrix. Secondly, we investigate …
