Bainite Flashcards
Bainite is a mixture of
ferrite and carbide
Bainite transf. has some attributes of
martensitic transf and some of nuc and growth
Bs temp ______ with increase in CC
decrease
Alloys ______ Bs
decrease
Bainite formation _____ ____
requires time (at any given temperature (below Bs), amount of bainite increases with time till it reaches the saturation value)
Bainite has a ____ ____ ___ unlike martensite
finite growth rate
Kinetics are _____ than pearlite transf
faster
Upper bainite
long laths of ferrite, fine particles of cemetite
Lower bainite
lenticular ferrite plates, ε-carbide particles have a rod like shape
Bainite has strength and hardness _____ than fine
pearlite,but _____ than that of martensite.
higher; lower
lower the transformation temperature, the
____ are the strength and hardness.
higher
Ductility and toughness of bainite are_____ than those of martensite
higher
Austempering:
heat treatment designed to produce bainite during an isothermal transformation, minimizes distortion and cracking
