Abstract：The retained austenite and its stability of transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) steel after isothermal bainitic transformation were investigated using SEM, TEM and XRD. The results showed that the amount of retained austenite is increased with increase of temperature or holding time of isothermal bainitic treatment in the range of 400440 ℃ and 120300 s respectively. At the same time the carbon content of retained austenite is decreased. It was found that the retained austenite is occurred in the forms of relative large particles, thin film and small globular particles. Obviously large retained austenite is unstable,thin film is more stable and fine globular particles are most stable.The combined formability of TRIP steel is deteriorated due to insufficient amount of retained austenite or reduced carbon content in retained austenite caused by excessive amount of retained austenite.Besides, the decrease of carbon content in retained austenite,caused by formation of cementite during extralong isothermal bainitic treatment makes stability of retained austenite reduced.
