Ta. Kop et al., Some observations on the effect of austenitisation conditions on the transformation kinetics in an HSLA steel and related C-Mn steels, J MATER SCI, 36(8), 2001, pp. 1863-1871
The dependence of the transformation kinetics of an HSLA steel and related
C-Mn steels on the austenitisation conditions have been investigated using
calorimetry and dilatometry. It is observed that the ferrite-start temperat
ure depends both on the manganese content and on the amount of niobium in s
olution. Calculations of the transformation kinetics based on an interface-
mobility model applied in a tetrakaidecahedron austenite-grain geometry are
used to investigate the background of the observed changes in transformati
on kinetics. (C) 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
