Abstract

It is shown that martensite plates in a 1.5% C 5.0% Ni steel can, during tempering, thicken or grow into bainite. It is suggested that this supports the author's view on bainite formation that the reduction in volumetric strain by the removal of carbon in the form of carbide during the formation of bainite provides part of the additional driving force needed for the coherent growth to proceed. The results also suggest that the austenite-martensite interface remains coherent after the development of a martensite plate has ceased.
