bainitisk
Bainitisk is a term used in theoretical materials science to refer to a proposed class of ultra-fine bainitic microstructures in steel alloys that form under non-equilibrium cooling conditions. The term combines 'bainite', a known transformation product in steel, with the suffix '-isk' to denote a specific hypothetical category within microstructural models. It is not part of standard metallurgical nomenclature and has no validated experimental status.
Origin and usage: The word appears in speculative discussions and thought experiments exploring alternative heat-treatment paths
Characteristics and implications: In the speculative model, bainitisk phases would exhibit refined morphology compared to conventional
