Abstract

The main factors affecting the kinetics of isothermal bainite transformation in alloyed steels were determined using the algorithms of the computer modelling of phase transformations in the solid state. The experimental and calculated transformation kinetics was described and compared using well known Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (KJMA) equation and Austin-Rickett (AR) equation. The effect of the initial configuration and the nucleation rate of the new phase nuclei on the parameters of the bainite transformation was analysed. The calculated kinetics of phase transformation at different nucleation rates was compared with the experimentally observed for HY-TUF and D6AC steels. The mechanism of the bainite transformation in alloyed steels was explained.
