The evolution of local d-spacings between lattice planes of bainitic ferrite in a high strength quenched and tempered structural steel, S690QL1 (Fe-0.16C-0.2Si-0.87Mn-0.33Cr-0.21Mo (wt pct)), has been determined to calculate the thermal expansion behavior. For this purpose, in-situ continuous cooling tests have been carried out in a high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffractometer. The results indicate thermal anisotropy in the bainitic ferrite planes.
