Abstract

Retardation effect of dispersed inert particles on delta–gamma interface migration in carbon steels during isothermal delta to gamma transformation is analyzed by two-dimensional phase-field simulations. The effect is systematically investigated for different values of particle radius, r, particle spacing, l, and initial carbon concentration of delta phase. The retardation effect becomes stronger when the pinning parameter described by r/l 2 is larger and the carbon concentration of delta phase is higher, indicating that delta to gamma transformation kinetics can be retarded in a similar way to the pinning effect on grain growth kinetics.
