What Do You Mean by Bainite?

: a transformation product in solid steel developed from austenite at temperatures intermediate between those where pearlite

What is bainite and martensite?

Bainite is a type of steel that's produced by cooling faster than pearlite but slower than martensite. Additionally, bainite has plate-shaped designs in its microstructures, while martensite has long oval-shaped designs. ... Without tempering, martensite is simply too hard, making it susceptible to breakage upon impact.

What process is used to make bainite?

Bainite forms by the decomposition of austenite at a temperature which is above MS but below that at which fine pearlite forms. All bainite forms below the T0 temperature. All time–temperature–transformation (TTT) diagrams consist essentially of two C–curves (Fig.
