EFFECTSOF AUSTENITE STRENGTHENING AND THE DIFFUSION OF IRON AND CARBON ATOMS ON BAINITIC TRANSFORMATIONS

Effect of austenite strengthening on M_s and B_s temeratures in threeFe-Ni-C alloys and three commercial steels are studied.M_s temperature lo-wers linearly with the increase of the austenite strength,while B_s seems indepen-dent of the austenit estrength
