Excellent mechanical properties of nanostructured bainitic steels are primarily related to the
ultra fine scale of their structure constituents. Typically, such structure is exhibited by suitably …

Rapid development of railway industry makes safety increasingly important. Wear, contact-
impact, fatigue and corrosion are important factors initiating rail track degradation from the …

The impact of microstructural characteristics on the crack initiation/propagation behavior of
carbide-free bainitic steel was investigated during austempering at 320 and 280° C. The …

The rate of bainite formation depends on several factors such as austenite grain size,
decomposition of austenite into other phases and austenite composition. Although studies …

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 …

In recent years, the possibility of using bainitic steels in railways has aroused considerable
