The aging process can significantly influence on the mechanical and physical properties of steel. As steel deteriorates, its microstructure undergoes changes that modify its strength, ductility, hardness, and corrosion resistance. These modifications are primarily attributed to phenomena such as gra
Bainite is a phase in steel that significantly impacts hardenability. It forms during differential cooling and exhibits a blend of ferrite and martensite characteristics. Bainite's presence can both enhance and reduce a steel's ability to {harden{ through heat treatment. This nuance stems from baini
