Ms function of carbon content

increasing carbon content increasing the required driving force

Strain = -0.3
92% bainite – 8% martensite
Results and Discussion
Thus, during non-isothermal def. the optimum cooling rates must be employed
to avoid accelerating the ferritic/bainitic transformations.
Results and Discussion
Although the reason is not completely clear, there is a minimum force level
(6-8kN) which does not alter the dilatation values and ‘M’ content. Exactly the
same effect as here (22MnB5 steel) is seen in 27MnCrB5 steel.
