Experimentally validated process-microstructure-property relations of bainitic steels derived from phase-field simulations
Abstract
This study examines the impact of processing conditions, such as thermalprocessing, on the resulting microstructure and mechanical properties. Spe-cial emphasis is placed on microstructural features obtained from three-dimensional phase-field simulations, which provide detailed insights into bai-nite morphology, phase distribution and retained austenite content. Thesesimulated microstructures are correlated with changes in yield strength undermultiaxial load, as represented in the yield surface of the material. The re-sults demonstrate that optimized processing routes can refine the microstruc-ture, enhance mechanical properties and significantly alter the yield surfacecharacteristics. These findings provide valuable insights for the design andapplication of bainitic steels, as well as for the development of predictivemodels linking process-structure-property relationships.
