Effect of Stress and Strain on Formation of Bainite in Steels

H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia

Abstract

The growth of bainite causes coordinated displacements of atoms during the motion of its glissile transformation interface. The response of such a transformation to elastic or plastic strain in the austenite is discussed in the context of steel processing. There are some remarkable effects not found in ordinary thermomechanically processed steels.
