troostite
(OP)
I am doing a hardening heat treatment on high carbon bearing steel.I have a problem of formation of a microstructure called troostite,which I observed it after tempering.How can I avoid this? Is it due to short austenitizing time (I am austenitizing at 850 C for 20 min)? Is there any reference where I can fetch information about this kind of microstructure ? Does this microstucture have any effect on mechanical property of the steel like fatigue properties( may be if it affects hardness or grain size)?

And, such microstructures can adversely affect the properties, particularly bearing properties.
