Specimens transformed at 350 ℃ and 450 ℃ without external stress contain respectively the lower and the upper bainite. No fundamental change in carbide precipitation is observed in specimen transformed at 350 ℃ under stress of 128 MPa. The very fine cementite is found precipitated within the upper bainite plates in specimen transformed at 450 ℃ under stress of 144 MPa, which can be explained as the result of the difficulty of carbon diffusing out of the massive ferrite plate within a much shortened transformation time due to the external stress. For all the specimens examined, Bagaryatskii orientation relationship is found existing between the carbides and ferrite matrix.展开更多
