What is the difference between bainite and martensite? Why is bainite better for turbine components?
Added by Jose Manuel H.
Step 1
Martensite is a very hard and brittle microstructure that forms when steel is rapidly cooled from a high temperature. This rapid cooling, known as quenching, traps carbon atoms in the steel in a supersaturated state, resulting in a highly stressed and brittle Show more…
