Predicting the cooperative effect of Mn–Si and Mn–Mo on the incomplete bainite formation in quaternary Fe–C alloys

Predicting the effect of alloying elements on the degree of incomplete austenite to bainite transformation in low carbon steels is of great industrial importance. This study introduces an extended Gibbs energy balance model which makes use of an additive approach to calculate the coupled effect of Mn, Si and Mo on the fraction of bainitic...
