Study of Microstructural Development of Bainitic Steel using Eddy Current and Synchrotron XRD in-situ Measurement Techniques during Thermomechanical Treatment∗

In the field of massive forged components the mechanical engineering industry searches for processes with increasing energy and resource efficiency. The new generation bainitic steels are promising for such application because of the high strength, toughness and fatigue properties. In order to achieve the desired mechanical properties, the development of the bainitic microstructure depending on the parameters of the thermomechanical process and...
