摘要
The bainitic transformation was analyzed according to the factors such as morphology, crystallography, mechanical property of bainite and transformation kinetics. It was found that the bainitic transformation is controlled by displacive mechanism and self-tempering of displacive microstructure, i.e. bainite is the product of such procedure during which undercooled austenite first transforms into one certain displacive microstructure by displacive mechanism and then this microstructure experiences self-tempering. With this idea, several questions that can not be illustrated only by displacive transformation mechanism can be explained successfully.
