<\/a>Bainite<\/strong> is a plate-like microstructure that forms in steels from austenite<\/a> when cooling rates are not rapid enough to produce martensite<\/a> but are still fast enough so that carbon does not have enough time to diffuse to form pearlite<\/a>. Like pearlite, the constituent phases of bainite are ferrite and cementite. Diffusional processes during cooling are involved in its formation. However, the shapes of the phases are very different in pearlite and bainite. The key difference between pearlite and bainite is that pearlite contains alternating layers of ferrite and cementite, whereas bainite has a plate-like microstructure.<\/p>\n
