ABSTRACT
The experimental measurements of micro/nanolayered dimples' dimensions (both geometry and pattern) on the published tensile fractographs of a series of austempered high-strength low-carbon bainitic steel are carried out and interpreted with the corresponding initial microstructural features and tensile mechanical responses as a function of austempering temperature.
