Enhanced Strength and Ductility by Introducing Nanobainitic Ferrite in Bainitic Steel Used in Sports Equipment

The mechanical properties of carbide-free bainitic steels used in sports equipment were investigated. The nanobainitic ferrite was introduced in bainitic steel to enhance the stability of blocky retained austenite (RA). The blocky RA formed in bainitic austempering process was coarse and led to poor...
