Two stages of tempering: • segregation of carbon to defects or forms clusters; • carbides convert into more stable cementite; Fig.1 The time scales associated with a variety of tempering phenomena for bainite. Bainite in Steels. Second Edition. H.K.D.H. Bhadeshia, 2001. 2

Conclusions: There are important differences in the tempering behaviour of bainite and martensite, because the former autotempers during transformation. Much of the carbon precipitates or partitions from the ferrite during the bainite reaction. The decrease in strength on tempering bainite is smaller because unlike martensite, there is hardly any carbon in solid solution. Major changes in strength occur only when the microstructure coarsens or with the onset of recrystallisation where equiaxed grains of ferrite replace the bainite plates. Minor changes in strength are due to cementite particle coarsening and a general recovery of the dislocation substructure. 7
