Modeling of Non-Isothermal Ferrite Transformation in Fe-C-Mn-Si Alloys

Abstract:

Based on Pham’s model, the non-isothermal ferrite transformation start temperature and time of Fe-C-Mn-Si alloys were deduced. The parameters of expression were predicted combined with experimental results. The relationship between ferrite transformation parameters Q , C and composition of Fe-C-Mn-Si alloys was obtained. Then the ferrite transformation start curve of Fe-C-Mn-Si alloys can be accurately predicted by the computational method, which can be extended to more complex multi-component alloy systems.
