This research delves into the displacive transformation mechanism of bainite in TRIP-assisted steels, such as Fe-0.29C-1.41Si-1.42Mn, highlighting the critical roles of temperature and carbon diffusion. The study reveals that while bainite grows without diffusion, carbon escapes into the residual austenite, prompting a complex interplay between initial transformation and carbon partitioning. The findings underscore the importance of accommodating shape deformations during growth and clarify the relationships between different transformation phases, including the influence of strain energy on the process.

Growth is diffusionless. Strain energy must be accounted for.
Summary The mechanism of transformation is displacive. Transformation temperature higher than martensite. Bainite grows without diffusion. But carbon then escapes into the residual austenite. Shape deformation plastically accommodated. Sub-unit mechanism of growth
Think of bainite as martensite which tempers during transformation
DISPLACIVE RECONSTRUCTIVE
Summary Mechanism of transformation is displacive but carbon must partition during growth. Pairs of plates grow together to minimise strain.
