bainite

As nouns the difference between pearlite and bainite

is that pearlite is a two-phased lamellar structure composed of alternating layers of alpha ferrite and cementite that occurs in some steels and cast irons, having a pearlescent appearance while bainite is a microstructure of steel consisting of needle-like particles of cementite embedded in a ferrite matrix.

In metallurgy terms the difference between martensite and bainite

is that martensite is a solid solution of carbon in iron; the chief constituent of steel while bainite is a microstructure of steel consisting of needle-like particles of cementite embedded in a ferrite matrix.

As a noun bainite is

(metallurgy) a microstructure of steel consisting of needle-like particles of cementite embedded in a ferrite matrix.

As nouns the difference between perlite and bainite

is that perlite is (mineralogy) an amorphous volcanic glass formed by the hydration of obsidian while bainite is (metallurgy) a microstructure of steel consisting of needle-like particles of cementite embedded in a ferrite matrix.

As nouns the difference between bainite and painite

is that bainite is (metallurgy) a microstructure of steel consisting of needle-like particles of cementite embedded in a ferrite matrix while painite is (mineralogy) a very rare orange-red borate mineral consisting mostly of calcium, zirconium, boron, aluminium, and oxygen.

As nouns the difference between bainite and hainite

is that bainite is (metallurgy) a microstructure of steel consisting of needle-like particles of cementite embedded in a ferrite matrix while hainite is (mineral) a triclinic-pinacoidal mineral containing calcium, fluorine, iron, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, manganese, oxygen, silicon, sodium, titanium, and zirconium.

As a noun bainite

is a microstructure of steel consisting of needle-like particles of cementite embedded in a ferrite matrix.

As a verb austemper is

to harden (a metal) and produce a stronger microstructure by heating it into the austenite region and then immediately quenching and removing any bainite and ausferrite.

As a noun bainite

is (metallurgy) a microstructure of steel consisting of needle-like particles of cementite embedded in a ferrite matrix.

As a verb martemper is

to subject (steel) to a heat treatment involving austenitization followed by step quenching (at a rate fast enough to avoid the formation of ferrite, pearlite or bainite), used to produce martensite under relatively low stress.
