The influence of austenitising temperature on the tensile properties of low temperature bainitic steel was investigated. With the increasing austenitising temperature, a significant change of elongation was found between 850 and 950 °C, which was changed from 1.0 ± 0.5 to 10.7 ± 2.0%; while there was a slight increase between 950 to 1050 °C (11.2 ± 1.5%). By characterising the retained austenite at necking and matrix, we found that the elongation is obviously correlated with the retained austenite content, and also determined by the volume change of retained austenite during the tensile test. The transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect, which contributes to the improve elongation, almost did not occur at 850 °C due to the relatively low volume percentage of retained austenite and its high carbon concentration, which resulted in a very low martensite transformation temperature. With the austenitising, the temperature was increased up to 950 and 1050 °C, and a large volume percentage of retained austenite was observed in the matrix. Meanwhile, a considerable amount of retained austenite has occurred by the TRIP effect because of a moderate carbon content.
