Abstract

The effects of hot deformation on the bainitic transformation of a low carbon steel during continuous cooling were comprehensively studied through in situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction, dilatometry, and ex situ microstructural characterizations. The obtained results indicated that the prior deformation of austenite at 950 °C accelerates the bainite formation at the early stages. During the ongoing of the transformation, both the overall kinetics of bainite and carbon enrichment of austenite are lower in deformed austenite. The bainitic microstructure developed from deformed austenite is more refined and presents the same retained austenite content at room temperature with slightly lower carbon content when compared with the undeformed sample. Besides, a significant higher dilatation strain was measured during the bainitic transformation in the deformed sample, which can be explained by the crystallographic texture in hot deformed austenite. The evolution of the peak broadening of the {220}γ and {211}α reflections during bainitic transformation are discussed in detail.
