Abstract

A new approach based on iteration is presented to extract the amount and composition of bainitic ferrite and austenite from the dilatation curve. The carbon concentration of bainitic ferrite estimated from the dilatation curve was found to be higher than the solubility of carbon in α-ferrite that is in paraequilibrium with γ-austenite, and it agreed well with the corresponding value estimated from X-ray diffraction (XRD). A slightly better fit between the experimental and calculated dilatation curves was obtained with body-centered-tetragonal than with body-centered-cubic (bcc) bainitic ferrite. These results suggest that the austenite to bainitic ferrite transformation occurs through a displacive mechanism.
