Abstract

Addition of alloying elements usually moves eutectoid point to left whilst aluminium enhances eutectoid carbon content. The carbon expands lattice parameters of austenite. High aluminium addition in steels led to volume expansion at pearlite-to-austenite transformation since specific volume of austenite is larger than that of mother phases, which is proposed to determine the volume expansion or contraction. It has been proven by calculations based on thermodynamics as well as accurate experimental observations of dilatometry study.
