Abstract

The present status of the three principal definitions of bainite currently in use is reviewed. On the surface relief definition, bainite consists of precipitate plates, producing an invariant plane strain (IPS) surface relief effect, which form by shear,i.e., martensitically, at temperatures usually aboveM s andM d . The generalized microstructural definition describes bainite as the product of the diffusional, noncooperative, compctitive ledgewise growth of two precipitate phases formed during eutectoid decomposition, with the minority phase appearing in nonlamellar form. This alternative mode of eutectoid decomposition is thus fundamentally different from the diffusional, cooperative, shared growth ledges mechanism for the formation of pearlite developed by Hackney and Shiflet. The overall reaction kinetics definition of bainite views this transformation as being confined to a temperature range well below that of the eutectoid temperature and being increasingly incomplete as its upper limiting temperature, the kineticB s , is approached. Recent research has shown, however, that even in steels (the only alloys in which this set of phenomena has been reported), incomplete transformation is not generally operative. Revisions in and additions to the phenomenology of bainite defined in this manner have been recently made. Extensive conflicts among the three definitions are readily demonstrated. Arguments are developed in favor of preference for the generalized microstructural definition, reassessment of the overall reaction kinetics definition, and discarding of the surface relief definition.
