Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy Study of Carbon-Vacancy Interaction in Low-Temperature Bainite

Abstract: Nano-scale investigations of bainitic structures formed at temperatures below 350 °C have shown that the bainitic ferrite lattice is super-saturated in carbon. A high density of intrinsic defects would be playing a part in the carbon-supersaturation levels detected. In this work, the role of C−vacancy complexes on carbon-supersaturation in low temperature bainite is investigated by means of positronAnnihilation Spectroscopy. Results reveal the presence of a significant amount of monovacancies in the structures… Show more

“…These can be dislocations or defects associated with them, such as jogs, vacancies [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], and vacancy–solute complexes for steel components (e.g., v-Cr (153 ps), v-Mn (152 ps), v-Cu (153 ps), and v-C (160 ps)) [ 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Moreover, similar positron lifetimes were found for martensite (159 ± 3 ps), bainite (164 ± 3 ps), pearlite (151 ± 3 ps), and austenite (149 ± 3 ps) steel structures [ 41 , 42 ] after different heat treatments. This implies that this lifetime cannot be unequivocally assigned to only one type of defect.…”

“…In line with those results, and by means of positron lifetime spectroscopy, it has been possible to reveal the presence of a significant amount of mono-vacancies in Super-Bainite that could assist in retaining carbon in bainitic ferrite by the formation of C−vacancy complexes (Rementeria, Domínguez-Reyes et al 2020). Due to the low mobility of these complexes in the ferrite, the complete partitioning of carbon towards the austenite/ferrite interface is hindered, and the phenomenon of carbon clustering in the ferritic phase formed at low temperature is promoted.…”

“…Therefore, the precipitation of iron carbide (25 at.-% C) in lower bainite occurs within the ferrite tips, which is probably not possible in the present ADI material due to the high silicon content. The cluster positions indicate iron lattice distortions, as C has the tendency to accumulate around them as experimentally proved most recently [ 50 ]. The proxigrams in Figure 12 show a carbon content of less than 0.3 at.-% for all ferrite regions.…”
