Bainite vs Martensite - Which is tougher?

#1

Post by Larrin »

Article on the differences between bainite and martensite - how they are formed, the differences on a microstructure level, etc. Verhoeven says in his book that bainite is tougher than martensite. Why would bainite have higher toughness?
