Abstract

When studying the kinetics of the transformation of supercooled austenite in a wide range of cooling rates for medium-carbon steels, molybdenum alloying sharply increases the stability of austenite during its diffusion decomposition, shifting the region of decomposition into pearlite and ferrite towards low cooling rates. It is shown that the region of austenite decomposition into bainite is separated from the region of decomposition into pearlite. Bainite transformation occurs over a very wide range of cooling rates in the temperature range 530–335 °C, with the formation of mainly products of decomposition of the granular structure.
