Quenched to 125C b) ii. Quenched to 600C, held for 20 minutes, and then quenched to 100 C The bainite region on the TTT diagram can be further subdivided into upper and lower bainite. Describe each and explain the driving forces responsible for creating one over the other. (4 marks) c) A steel is cooled continuously as presented in the table below. What is the name of the possible quenching process? What is the microstructure of the final steel product? Explain. (3 marks) Temperature (C) Time (Seconds) 750 600 0.1 1 400 100 10 100
