Bainite And Martensite Developments And Challenges

The Microstructures Of Both Martensite And Bainite, Although Sharing Some Common Features, Depict A Plethora Of Subtle Differences That Made Them Unique When Studied In Further Detail. Tailoring The Final Properties Of A Microstructure Based On One Or The Other As Well As In Combination With Others And Exploring More Sophisticated Concepts, Such As Qamp;p And Nanostructured Bainite, Are The Topics Which Are The Focus Of Research Around The World. In Understanding The Key Microstructural Parameters Controlling The Final Properties As Well As Definition Of Adequate Process Parameters To Attain The Desired Microstructures Requires That A Proper Understanding Of The Mechanism Ruling Their Transformation And A Detailed Characterization First Be Acheived.
