The Mechanical Properties of Bainitic Steels

Observing microstructure is not enough. The Engineer only sees properties such as strength, toughness, ductility. I will demonstrate here how it is possible to relate thermodynamics to toughness, the characteristics which determine strength, discontinuous yielding, fatigue, hydrogen absorption and diffusion and other complex properties. The concepts will be presented in such a way that the path towards the design of better steels is clear.
