- Further information
- Medium carbon steel that has been austenitised and subsequently quenched. If the quench is insufficiently rapid bainite is formed instead of martensite. This sample was taken from the centre of a quenched item. Cooling rates in the centre are slower and hence the formation of the bainite that can be observed.
