Abstract

The changes in X-ray diffraction intensity and internal friction within and beyond the incubation period of bainitic transformation on the isothermal TTT diagram in a silver-cadmium (43.3 wt pct Cd) alloy were studied. Experimental results show that the parent-phase X-ray diffraction intensity and the internal friction value increase immediately at the beginning of isothermal holding and that the internal friction reaches its maximum value,Q −1 max within the incubation period. It then gradually decreases. It is suggested that the prebainitic transformation within the incubation period is the nucleation process of bainite.
