Abstract
A modified model describing the austenite reaction was developed that took into account the effect of heating rate. The model considered the variation of activation energy during non-isothermal heating and one set of model parameter was adequate to predict the formation of austenite. To verify the theoretical model, the process of austenite formation during continuous heating in Cr5 roller steel with pearlite and ferrite mixed initial microstructure was analyzed by dilatation experiment. The results show that a strong logarithmic relationship between apparent activation energy and heating rate. Experimental kinetic transformations as well as critical temperatures of austenite reaction are in good agreement with the calculations. The model can be used to describe the transformation kinetics at an intermediate heating rate.
