New article summarizing some experiments I did on “austempering” for bainite of 52100, O1, and 1095. There were some interesting results about how bainite gest improved toughness of typical tempered martensite. I also compared between the high carbon steel heat treated for bainite vs high toughness medium carbon steels. And offered some opinions about getting setup for austempering vs sticking with a typical quench and temper. Bainite Heat Treatments of 52100, O1, and 1095 - How Much Toughness? - Knife Steel Nerds
