POSCO Lectures on Bainite - Part 1 

Microstructure of Bainite
Here we explore the known features of bainite in steels, which in subsequent lectures are explained in terms of the atomic mechanism by which bainite forms. The bainite reaction on a time--temperature transformation diagram, in the context of all the other transformations that occur in steels; the microstructure of upper and lower bainite; the carbides that form during the bainite reaction; the sub--unit of bainite; the behaviour of substitutional solutes such as Mn, Si, Cr during the bainite reaction; the behaviour of interstitial solutes such as carbon or nitrogen during the bainite reaction; the shape deformation due to bainite; plastic relaxation.
