Retained Austenite Destabilization during Tempering of Low-Temperature Bainite

The thermal stability of nanostructured microstructures consisting of a mixture of bainitic ferrite and carbon-enriched retained austenite has been studied in two steels containing 0.6 C (wt %) by tempering cycles of 1 h at temperatures ranging from 450 to 650 °C. Volume changes due to microstructur...
