Xd. Liu et al., THERMODYNAMIC CALCULATION OF CHEMICAL DRIVING-FORCE FOR COMPLEX CARBONITRIDES IN MULTICOMPONENT MICROALLOYED STEELS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 188(1-2), 1994, pp. 247-250
In this paper, two methods, namely the equilibrium constant method and
the thermodynamic method, for calculating the chemical driving force
for the nucleation of complex carbonitrides in austenite of multicompo
nent microalloyed steels are presented and compared. The results show
that there exists an obvious difference between the chemical driving f
orces calculated by the two different methods, and that the difference
increases with decreasing temperature.
