Abstract

Abstract The effect of temperature variation owing to the cooling pattern (CP) on the microstructural evolution was investigated by establishing a thermomechanical coupled FE (finite element) model. A set of constitutive equations of phase transformation was implanted into the commercial FE solver MARC through the user defined subroutine CR-PLAW, and the temperature field was calculated by another user defined subroutine FILM. The results show that the final microstructure is completely bainite phase for CP one, 98% of bainite phase and 2% of ferrite phase for CP two, and 55% of bainite phase, 35% of pearlite phase and 10% of ferrite phase for CP three.
