The effect of ausforming temperatures on bainite morphology was studied on a newly developed carbide-free high-silicon steel. It was found that reducing the deformation temperature prior to bainitic transformation increased the strength of the undercooled austenite and decreased the maximum volume fraction of bainitic ferrite. The deformation temperature also had a significant impact on the morphology of bainite, including the length of sheaves, the reciprocal orientation of the bainitic plates, and crystallographic orientation.
The effect of ausforming temperatures on bainite morphology was investigated on a newly developed carbide-free high-silicon steel. High plastic deformation (30%) was applied to undercooled austenite after austenitiza-tion in the temperature range 900-300 degrees C with a Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator working in compression mode, before the isothermal treatment at 300 degrees C for bainitic transformation. Samples were fully characterized by means SEM, XRD, EBSD and TEM. Results showed that reducing the deformation temperature, prior to the bainitic transformation, ausforming increased undercooled austenite strength, leading to the decrease of maximum volume fraction of bainitic ferrite, due to mechanical stabilization. Moreover, it was observed a strong impact on bainite morphology of the deformation temperature including length of sheaves, the reciprocal orientation of the bainitic plates and crystallographic orientation, with the detection of variant se-lection phenomena.
