Austenite, martensite, bainite, pearlite; phase transformations during heat treatment
LIJ Med Tube Depending on the temperature and the rate of cooling, steel can transform into different microstructures, which in turn determine its properties. Austenite, martensite, bainite, and pearlite are not four unrelated, distinct entities; rather, they represent four different “altitudes” reached by the same piece of steel as it travels along the “mountain path”
