Sk. Nath et al., NONISOTHERMAL AUSTENITISATION KINETICS AND THEORETICAL DETERMINATION OF INTERCRITICAL ANNEALING TIME FOR DUAL-PHASE STEELS, ISIJ international, 34(2), 1994, pp. 191-197
Non-isothermal austenitisation kinetics of three plain carbon steels h
ave been studied with the help of Differential Scanning Calorimeter (D
SC) employing modified Kissinger's analysis. Kinetic parameters like a
ctivation energy and coefficient of Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) kinetic
equation so obtained, were used to calculate the theoretical intercrit
ical annealing time for intercritical annealing of three plain carbon
steels to develop dual-phase structure. Good correlation has been obta
ined between theoretical and experimentally found intercritical anneal
ing time.
