Descrição
Resumo:The successive ferrite ( ) + pearlite (P) transformations from austenite ( ) were modeled to predict the presence of bainite in as-forged medium-carbon manganese steels. The kinetics of diffusional transformations were calculated based on classical nucleation and growth theory coupled with CALPHAD multi-component thermodynamics. The description of the growth rate of proeutectoid- includes a time dependence due to the carbon enrichment in the remaining . The / interface was assumed to be in negligible-partitioned local equilibrium (NPLE). The kinetics calculation of P nucleating on the surface was integrated into the model. Given the transformation temperature range in continuous cooling, the growth rate of P was also expressed in the NPLE constraint for /cementite. The concentration of untransformed ( U) can be monitored and should be dependent on the extent of the preceding transformations. Thus, the energies available for the nucleation and diffusionless growth of bainitic- were evaluated from the thermodynamics of the U single-phase system, which is proposed as a method to predict the inclusion of bainite in the final þ P microstructure
