Abstract Morphologies and microsubstructures of bainitic ferrite, α_b, in 6 alloys of Fe-C-Si, Fe-C-Mn and Fe-C-Si-Mn systems have been examined using optical and transmission electron microscope. The difference of morphology between alloys was found to attribute to the solute drag-like effect. The relative incubation time, τ, of bainite transformation in different alloys was estimated by the calculated volume free energy change, △G_v. Comparing with the τ measured on the TTT-curves, it is found that the difference between the calculated and measured values are large enough in Fe-C-Mn and Fe-C-Si-Mn alloys. It means that the △G_v is not the main factor to determine the values of τ of these alloys. The segregation of Mn at prior austenite, γ, grain boundaries was detected by STEM+EDS and second ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). Thus, nucleation of α_b at prior γ grain boundaries is therefore retarted and the fraction of intergranular ferrite increases with Mn content. The complex effect of Si and Mn is thought to be the effect of Si enhancing the segregation of Mn to γ grain boundaries.
