Abstract
Effects of process parameters of the ausforming such as temperature, strain and strain rate on the martensitic start temperature, kinetics of isothermal bainitic transformation and microstructure refinement of a low carbon carbide-free bainitic steel were investigated. It was found that applying plastic deformation to untransformed austenite during intermediate temperatures decreased the martensite start temperature of steel and enabled isothermal bainitic transformation at low temperatures. Hereby, ausforming significantly generated heterogeneous nucleation sites, which accelerated the overall kinetics of bainitic transformation and thus increased bainitic phase fraction in steel. In addition, the ausforming enhanced the stability of austenite that led to reduced amount of martensite after cooling down to room temperature. Finally, the ausforming parameters and observed microstructure features were correlated and discussed along with the hardness of steel.
