Ravi, A.M. (author), Navarro Lopez, A. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)Bainite formation in steels typically starts at austenite grain boundaries and continues through nucleation of bainite at newly formed bainitic ferrite/austenite interfaces. Recent experimental evidence has pointed out that austenite to bainite transformation can also proceed in the presence of martensite. Studies suggest that the presence of...journal article 2020

Ravi, A.M. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)Low temperature bainite formation in high-carbon steels leads to highly refined microstructures. However, the rate of bainite formation becomes impractically low as the bainite formation temperature decreases. Thus, it is important to create strategies to accelerate the low-temperature bainite formation kinetics in high-carbon steels. In this...journal article 2020
