If steels are quenched to a constant temperature in a salt bath so quickly that the austenite has not yet decomposed, then the austenite will transform isothermally, at one temperature. Such isothermal transformation of steels has been studied extensively, and it was found that the austenite product or products that form depends on the quench temperature and the %C in the steel, as summarized in Fig. 23.

Bainite is similar to pearlite in that it consists of ferrite plus carbides. The carbide component consists of aligned filaments or particles, as opposed to the aligned plates in pearlite. 11. Bainite occurs in two forms, upper bainite and lower bainite, depending on the temperature where it forms. The carbides are finer in lower bainite. Strengths approaching martensite, with toughness often better than tempered martensite having the same hardness, can be obtained. 12. A unique property of martensite is that it forms much more rapidly than any of the other austenite products—ferrite, cementite, pearlite, or bainite.
5C (epsilon carbide). Epsilon carbide does not appear on the iron-carbon equilibrium phase diagram because it is not a stable phase. It is a metastable phase and can only be formed in quenched steels. It will be encountered again when tempering is discussed. 23 can be used to illustrate an important aspect of pearlitic steels that is often not well understood. 77% C. Consider a 1095 steel. The diagram shows that if this steel is quenched into the temperature range of approximately 550 to 650 °C (1020 to 1200 °F) and held until all austenite has decomposed, it will become a 100% pearlitic structure.
