Talk:Bainite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a comment to the given definition I suggest every reader to take a look at a paper of Hillert and Purdy. There, a following conclusion is drawn :

"(...) "bainite" should only be used for eutectoid (two-phase) structures. If an acicular precipitation occurs without diffusion and with a glissile interface, it should grow with a high rate and should be regarded as martensite. If there is diffusion soon after its formation, the product should be called tempered martensite."
