This symposium was held during November 2-4, 1992 in Chicago as part of Materials Week '92''. This symposium focused on the metallurgy of steels containing martensitic or bainitic microstructures formed from thermomechanically processed austenite, and builds upon two recent topical meetings on the related subject of ferritic accelerated cooled steels. Papers in the first section deal with thermodynamics and kinetics of austenite transformation, the morphology of austenite transformation products, and alloy carbide precipitation. Results of investigations of relationships between processing variables, microstructure, and mechanical properties are contained in the following section. Section III is devoted specifically to boron hardenability effects. papers in the final section are concerned with product development; included here is a comprehensive overview of industrial accelerated cooling/direct quenching technology by researchers from the Nippon Steel Corporation.
