Abstract
In this work, we provide with an overview of the main theories, metallurgical and microstructural concepts used for the design of carbide free bainitic steels adapted to industrial hot rolling and coiling practices. The selected alloys were cast and tested at pilot plant scale and the obtained good combinations of properties tend to validate the thorough and careful approach undertaken to predict the microstructures during the alloy design process.
