Abstract
The kinetics of proeutectoid ferrite transformation in Fe-C base alloys in a strong magnetic field (7.5 T) were studied. The transformation kinetics were accelerated at temperatures not only below but also significantly above the Curie temperature. The free energy and equilibrium ferrite/austenite phase boundaries in applied magnetic fields were calculated using the reported experimental magnetic susceptibility and Weiss molecular field theory. The persistence of magnetic field effects above the Curie temperature can be attributed to the rapidly diminishing difference in relative stability between ferrite and austenite toward the Ae 3 temperature of iron.
