Abstract: | The morphology, crystallography, and substructure of bainitic ferrite formed in silicon alloyed high-carbon steels in the
temperature range 290 to 380 °C have been studied. The bainite exhibits a plate shaped morphology, an irrational habit plane,
and an irrational orientation relationship. The bainitic ferrite is heavily dislocated, while the surrounding austenite contains
thin twins, the density of which is highest in the austenite between closely spaced ferrite plates. The bainite plates can
cross these twins in such a manner that the twinned region remains in a crystallographic orientation, which is quite different
from that of the other regions of the bainitic ferrite plates. Epsilon carbide subsequently precipitates on the austenite
twin/bainitic ferrite boundaries. The bainitic ferrite shape strain direction and magnitude are estimated from displacements
of austenite twins inherited in the ferrite. All results, including measurement of the austenite carbon content, are consistent
with a shear mode of transformation.
