Abstract: Abstract: The transformation to a bainitic microstructure during austempering under different conditions was examined for the most successful of the experimental casts. Austenitising temperature of 920°C and austempering temperature of 350°C for different holding times have been used. Microstructures have been examined by SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that isothermal transformation at 350°C for different soaking times gave a typical bainitic microstructure that increased with increasing austempering time. Extension of isothermal transformation time leads to precipitation of carbides which also depended on the bainitic phase transformation. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
