Abstract
We have elucidated the determining role of high magnetic field on low-temperature nanostructured bainite transformation at an isothermal temperature of 300 °C. The application of 12 Tesla magnetic field increased the bainite volume percentage by 193% and 106% after isothermal treatment at 300 °C for 1 and 5 h, respectively. It indicated that low-temperature nanostructured bainite transformation is significantly accelerated by a high magnetic field. The magnetic moment of bainitic ferrite was 1.99 μB under the condition of high magnetic field and 300 °C. Thus, the magnetic Gibbs free energy of bainite under 12 Tesla is −133.90 J/mol, leading to increase in the driving force for transformation of austenite to bainite transformation.
