Parabolic rate constants for the thickening (α) and lengthening (β) kinetics of grain boundary allotriomorphs of proeutectoid ferrite have been measured as a function of isothermal transformation
temperature in several Fe-C-X’ alloys whereX = Si, Ni, Mn, and Cr. These constants have been corrected approximately for the growth inhibition produced by facets on the
allotriomorphs. The corrected α values are compared with those calculated on the basis of three models: equilibrium at α:γ
boundaries with partition ofX, local equilibrium with “pile-up” ofX rather than bulk partition, and paraequilibrium. Values calculated from both the paraequilibrium and the “pile-up” models
were in order of magnitude or better agreement with the corrected experimental α’s. Similar levels of agreement were obtained
for the equilibrium model in the Si and Cr alloys and also in one Ni alloy at lower reaction temperatures. However, an estimate
of the maximum possible diffusion distance of alloying element into austenite during growth supported only the paraequilibrium
model under nearly all conditions investigated. Even for this model, however, measured rate constants are significantly less
than those calculated for Fe-C-Mn and Fe-C-Cr and greater for Fe-C-Si and the higher Ni, Fe-C-Ni alloy. The Mn and Cr discrepancies
seem best explained at present by a solute drag-like effect; an accompanying paper indicates that interphase boundary precipitation
of carbides is involved in the Si and Ni alloys, though an inverse solute drag-like effect may also be operative.

Experimental data on alloying element partition and growth kinetics of proeutectoid ferrite in quaternary Fe-C-Mn-Si, Ni,
and Co alloys were reanalyzed using an approximate method, which permits a quick evaluation of alloy partitioning to be made.
The method yielded results in good agreement with DICTRA and is applicable to Fe-C base multicomponent alloys. Differences
of the predicted local condition at the α/γ boundary from those previously presented in the alloys are noted. 相似文献

The internal structure in massive phases formed during six massive transformations has been reviewed. A counterpart review
has also been made for the proeutectoid ferrite reaction, mainly in alloy steels in which bulk partition of alloying elements
between austenite and ferrite has not occurred. Both dislocations and twins comprise this structure unless the stacking fault
energy is too high to permit twin formation. Volume and shape changes associated with transformation can explain dislocation
loops through stress-induced displacement and multiplication of misfit dislocations into the softer phase by means of either
a dissociation reaction followed by Ashby-Johnson prismatic looping or emanation of glide loops from Frank-Reed sources. Following
Gleiter et al., the “growth accidents” concept used to explain dislocation and twin formation during grain growth proves equally suitable
for explaining formation of the same features during the massive and other diffusional transformations. Climb of interfaces
produced by edge-to-edge rather than the usual plane-to-plane matching, introduced by Kelly and Zhang and experimentally supported
by Nie and Muddle and by Howe et al. for the α → γ
m
transformation in near-TiAl alloys, is proposed as another source of dislocations in the product phase.

The nucleation kinetics of proeutectoid ferrite allotriomorphs at austenite grain boundaries in Fe-0.5 at. Pct C-3 at. Pct
X alloys, where X is successively Mn, Ni, Co, and Si and in an Fe-0.8 at. Pct C-2.5 at. Pct Mo alloy have been measured using
previously developed experimental techniques. The results were analyzed in terms of the influence of substitutional alloying
elements upon the volume free energy change and upon the energies of austenite grain boundaries and nucleus: matrix boundaries.
Classical nucleation theory was employed in conjunction with the pillbox model of the critical nucleus applied during the
predecessor study of ferrite nucleation kinetics at grain boundaries in Fe-C alloys. The free energy change associated with
nucleation was evaluated from both the Hillert-Staffanson and the Central Atoms Models of interstitial-substitutional solid
solutions. The grain boundary concentrations of X determined with a Scanning Auger Microprobe were utilized to calculate the
reduction in the austenite grain boundary energy produced by the segregation of alloying elements. Analysis of these data
in terms of nucleation theory indicates that much of the influence of X upon ferrite nucleation rate derives from effects
upon the volume-free energy change,i.e., upon alterations in the path of theγ/(α + γ) phase boundary. Additional effects arise from reductions in austenite grain boundary energy, with austenite-forming alloying
elements being more effective in this regard than ferrite-formers. By difference, the remaining influence of the alloy elements
studied evidently results from their ability to diminish the energies of the austenite: ferrite boundaries enclosing the critical
nucleus. The role of nucleation kinetics in the formation of a bay in the TTT diagram of Fe-C-Mo alloys is also considered.

A computer model is developed to simulate the growth of grain-boundary allotriomorphs having more than one set of growth ledges
at their interfaces. The growth is controlled by the volume diffusion of solute to or from the riser of a ledge. The time
dependence of the growth rate of two orthogonal sets of ledges is found to be somewhat different from that of a single set
of ledges. However, the operation of multiple sets of ledges is unlikely to alter significantly the growth kinetics of grain-boundary
allotriomorphs from those predicted from the disordered growth theory, except at small ledge spacings or at short reaction
times. Faster growth kinetics of proeutectoid α allotriomorphs than those of either planar or ellipsoidal disordered boundaries
which have been reported in a Ti-6.6 at. pet Cr alloy are not likely to be accounted for with the heights and spacings of
double sets of ledges actually observed on the interfaces of allotriomorphs. Hence, the grain-and interphase-boundary diffusion-assisted
growth of precipitates, (rejector plate mechanism, RPM) appears to be operative during the growth of a allotriomorphs, as
previously proposed on the basis of growth-rate measurements.

The incomplete transformation (ICT) phenomenon is defined as the temporary cessation of ferrite formation (in the absence
of carbide precipitation at α:γ boundaries) before the fraction of austenite transformed to ferrite predicted by the Lever
rule is attained. The ICT phenomenon is central to the “overall reaction kinetics” definition of bainite but plays lesser
roles in the quite different groups of phenomena comprising the “surface relief” and “generalized microstructural” definitions.
Experimental generalizations that can be made about the ICT are briefly noted. Effects of alloying elements, X, upon various
aspects of the nucleation and growth of ferrite are listed in order of apparently increasing strength. The ICT is seen to
be one of the stronger effects in the latter spectrum. Theories of the ICT are then critically examined. The currently most
promising theories involve (1) the cessation of growth induced by the coupled-solute drag effect (C-SDE), accentuated by the
overlap of the carbon diffusion fields associated with adjacent ferrite crystals; and (2) the concepts of item (1) plus local
alloying element partition between ferrite and austenite (LE-NP), thereby making any further ferrite growth require volume
diffusion of X in austenite and thus to take place exceedingly slowly. Distinguishing between these theories will require
use of an Fe-C-X system in which the temperature-carbon concentration paths of the paraequilibrium (PE) Ae3 and of the “no partition” boundary are well separated. Although the Fe-C-Mo system has proved convenient for studying many
aspects of the ICT phenomenon, it does not fulfill this specification. Fe-C-Mn alloys do so and should be particularly useful
subjects for future investigations of the ICT phenomenon.

The influence of interphase boundary ledges on the growth and morphology of proeutectoid ferrite and proeutectoid cementite
precipitates in steel is examined. After reviewing current theoretical treatments of growth by the ledge mechanism, investigations
that clearly document the presence and motion of ledges with thermionic emission electron microscopy (THEEM) and transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) are reviewed. A fundamental distinction is made between two types of ledges: (1) mobile growth ledges
whose lateral migration displaces the inter-phase boundary and (2) misfit-compensating structural ledges. Both types of ledges
strongly affect the apparent habit plane and aspect ratio of precipitate plates. Agreement between measured growth rates of
proeutectoid ferrite and cementite (plates and allotriomorphs) and predicted growth kinetics assuming volume diffusion-controlled
migration of ledge-free disordered boundaries is shown to be consistently poor. Physically realistic growth models should
incorporate the ledge mechanism. More accurate comparisons of the growth models with experimental data will need to account
for observed ledge heights, interledge spacings, and ledge velocities. In this vein, the sluggish growth kinetics of cementite
allotriomorphs observed in an Fe-C alloy are shown to be quantitatively consistent with a strong increase in interledge spacing
with time.

A technique based on the Seebeck effect was used to determine directly the solid-liquid (S/L) interface supercooling and toin situ monitor the interfacial conditions during growth of high-purity Ga single crystals from a supercooled melt. Using this nonintrusive
technique, the growth kinetics of faceted (111) and (001) interfaces were studied as a function of the interface supercooling
in the range of 0.2 to 4.6 K, corresponding to bulk supercoolings of about 0.2 to 53 K. In addition, the growth kinetics have
been determined as a function of crystal perfection related to the emergence of dislocations at the S/L interface. The results
show that at low super-coolings, the faceted interfaces grow with either of the lateral growth mechanisms: two-dimensional
nucleation-assisted (2DNG) or screw dislocation-assisted (SDG), depending on the perfection of the interface. At increased
interfacial supercoolings, however, both growth rates (2DNG and SDG) become a linear function of the supercooling. Application
of the existing growth theories to the experimental results gives only qualitative agreement and fails to predict the observed
deviation in the kinetics at high supercoolings. A theoretical treatment of the growth of faceted interfaces will be given
in Part II of this series.1

The growth of allotriomorphic ferrite from austenite in Fe-C-X alloys is studied. Two systems have been selected: the Fe-C-Ni
system, in which the substitutional alloying element is expected to have a weak interaction with both the C and the moving
interface, and the Fe-C-Mo system, in which these interactions are expected to be non-negligible. The ferrite growth kinetics
was measured using two types of experiments: classical isothermal heat treatments and decarburization experiments. All of
the experimental observations can be quantitatively rationalized using a model that describes an evolution in interfacial
conditions from paraequilibrium (PE) to local equilibrium with negligible partitioning (LENP) during growth.

The pearlitic hardenability of a high-purity Fe-0.8 pct C alloy and zone-refined iron binary alloys containing Mn, Ni, Si,
Mo, or Co was studied by means of hot-stage microscopy. The binary alloys were carburized in a gradient furnace to produce
eutectoid compositions, thus eliminating proeutectoid phases. A special technique based on hot-stage microscopy was used to
study the effect of cooling rate (10°F/min to 25,000°F/min) on the transformation of austenite and provided data for the construction
of continuous cooling-transformation diagrams. From these diagrams critical cooling rates were obtained for hardenability
calculations. It was found that molybdenum is the most effective element, followed by Si, Ni, Co, and Mn, in suppressing the
pearlite transformation,i.e., in increasing the hardenability of the alloys studied. The alloying additions were grouped into two classes according to
their effect on hardenability: α-stabilizers (Mo and Si) and γ-stabilizers (Ni, Co, Mn), with the α-stabilizers being the
more effective in improving hardenability.

Athermal and stress-induced martensitic transformations are examined in various alloys of the large family which exhibit the
unique “memory” and/or “superelastic” shape memory effects (SME). Such mechanical effects are found to be intimately related
to details of the martensitic and premartensitic reaction paths in each system. A common feature of various “uncommon” systems
is that the usual phenomenological crystallographic analysis cannot completely describe the martensitic transformation in
these systems. Addiional features represented by lattice “shuffles” or low-wavelength lattice waves, and the mechanistic role
of transformation dislocations are examined. A common thread in various systems such as TiNi, CuZn, AuCd, In-Tl, and so forth,
is viewed in terms of evidence related to alloying (electronic entropy) effects on lattice instability of the parent phase.
Instability reflected by premonitory phenomena can be given considerable generality when related to observations in systems
which exhibit similar dynamic lattice transitions, such as the second-order “athermal omega” lattice transition in Group IV-base
systems. The importance of reversibility in martensitic transformation of SME alloys is emphasized. Comparisons with more
common non-SME martensitic alloys are made.

The formation and microstructure of the granular product and its effect on the mechanical properties of a high-strength, low
alloy steel containing molybdenum and niobium have been investigated. It was found that the granular product “islands” are
composed of both twinned martensite and dislocated martensite. The effect of the granular “islands” on the strength at room
temperature and at 400 °C has been determined. The results showed that the strength increased and both the impact and fracture
toughness decreased as the volume fraction of granular “islands” was increased.In situ fracture studies indicated that the three stages of the microfracture process of the specimen containing granular “islands”
are the initiation of voids at interfaces between the granular “islands” and the bainitic ferrite matrix, followed by void
growth and finally, coalescence by shear. 相似文献

A series of Fe-C-X and Fe-C-X1-X2 alloys in which X, X1 and X2 either raise or depress the activity of C iny were investigated by autodilatometer, optical microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to reveal the relations
among the chemical composition, transformation kinetics, and morphology of ferrite plates. The incubation time of austenite
decomposition at the nose temperature in the time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagrams, the concentration of C in y in
contact with theα/gg boundary, and the growth rate of ferrite were evaluated to estimate the magnitude of the solute drag-like
effect (SDLE) for the different alloying elements used. All the results are consistent qualitatively with the SDLE hypothesis.

An overview is presented of the thermodynamic, kinetic, statistical, and geometric factors that govern phase coarsening in
dendritic mushy zones. The coarsening behavior of such systems is best quantified through the kinetics of the decay rate of
the specific surface area,S
v. The geometry of the complex solid-melt interfaces comprising a mushy zone is described statistically as an areal distribution
of local curvature parameters. These parameters capture both the intensive and extensive thermodynamic characteristics of
the mushy zone. The effects of local interface shape, negative mean, and Gaussian curvatures and the appearance of inactive
lengthscales on the coarsening kinetics of dendritic structures are discussed. The combined contribution of all these geometrical
effects yields global coarsening rates for ramified mushy zones that are comparable to those predicted from theory for a collection
of spherical particles having the identical volume fraction of solid.

The growth of a planar ferrite (α): austenite (γ) boundary in low-carbon iron and Fe-Mn alloys continuously cooled from austenite through the (α+γ) two-phase field and the α single-phase field was simulated by incorporating carbon diffusion in austenite, intrinsic boundary mobility, and the drag
of an alloying element. At a very high cooling rate (≥ 103 °C/s), the width of the carbon diffusion spike in austenite approaches the limit at which spikes are viable, so that the
growth of ferrite in which carbon is not partitioned can occur even above the α solvus. In this context, the upper limiting temperature of partitionless growth of ferrite is the T
0 temperature. In the presence of drag of an alloying element, e.g., Mn, both carbon-partitioned and partitionless growth of ferrite begins to occur at finite undercoolings from the Ae
3, T
0, or α-solvus temperature, at which the driving force for transformation exceeds the drag force. The intrinsic mobility of the α:γ boundary may play a significant role at an extremely high cooling rate (≥105 °C/s).

The kinetics and morphology of isothermal transformation in the vicinity of the time-temperaturetransformation (TTT) diagram
bay have been investigated with optical and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 19 Fe-C-Mo alloys at three levels of
carbon concentration (approximately 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25 wt pct) and at Mo concentrations from 2.3 to 4.3 wt pct, essentially
always at temperatures above or at that of the bay,T
b
. Quantitative metallography yielded no evidence for incomplete transformation (stasis) in any of these alloys atT > T
b
. Measurements of the thickening kinetics of grain boundary ferrite allotriomorphs (invariably containing either interphase
boundary or fibrous Mo2C) demonstrated four different patterns of behavior. The customary parabolic time law for allotriomorph thickening in Fe-C
and in many Fe-C-X systems was obtained only at higher temperatures and in the more dilute Fe-C-Mo alloys studied. With decreasing
temperature and increasing solute concentrations, a two-stage and then two successive variants of a three-stage thickening
process are found. In the most concentrated alloys and at temperatures nearest the bay, the second stage of the three-stage
thickening process corresponds to “growth stasis”—the cessation of allotriomorph thickening. Sufficient prolongation of growth
stasis presumably leads to “transformation stasis.” A number of models for growth of the carbide-containing allotriomorphs
were investigated during attempts to explain the observed kinetics. It was concluded that their growth is controlled by carbon
diffusion in austenite but with a driving force drastically reduced by a very strong solute drag-like effect (SDLE) induced
by Mo segregation at disordered-type austenite: ferrite boundaries. Carbide growth in the fibrous structure appears to be
fed by diffusion of Mo along austenite: ferrite boundaries, whereas carbides in the interphase boundary structure grow primarily
by volume diffusion of Mo through austenite.

Manganese-aluminum alloys in the vicinity of the equiatomic composition exhibit an attractive combination of magnetic properties
for technological applications, including bulk permanent magnets and thin-film devices. The technical magnetic properties
derive from the formation of a metastable L10 intermetallic phase (τ-MnAl) characterized by a high, uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy with an “easy” c-axis. Carbon is generally added to stabilize the tetragonal τ phase with respect to the stable phases in the system. The magnetic hysteresis behavior of the Mn-Al-C genre of permanent
magnet alloys is extremely sensitive to the microstructure and defect structure produced during the formation of the τ phase (L10) within the high-temperature ε phase (hcp). In this study, modern metallographic techniques, including high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM), have
been applied to elucidate the nature of the phase transformation and the evolution of the unique microstructure and defect
structure characterizing the structural state of the ferromagnetic τ phase. It is concluded that the metastable τ phase is the product of a compositionally invariant, diffusional nucleation and growth process or massive transformation.
The massive product nucleates preferentially at the grain boundaries of the parent ε phase and is propagated by the migration of incoherent interphase interfaces. The interphase interfaces are revealed to be
faceted on various length scales. It is concluded that this faceting is not a feature of the bicrystallography of the parent
and product phases. The high density of lattice defects within the τ phase, generated by the phase transformation, is attributed to growth faults produced during atomic attachment at the migrating
interfaces. Classical nucleation theory has been applied quantitatively to the grain-boundary nucleation process and was found
to be consistent with the observed time-temperature-transformation (TTT) behavior. Analysis of the growth kinetics gives an
ΔH
D
value of 154 kJ mol−1 for the activation energy of the transboundary diffusional process controlling boundary migration.

Intragranular ferrite nucleation in medium-carbon vanadium steels 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

In this study, the mechanism of intragranular ferrite nucleation is investigated. It is found that “intragranular ferrite
idiomorphs” nucleate at vanadium nitrides which precipitate at manganese sulfide particles during cooling in the austenite
region. It is observed that intragranular ferrite has the Baker-Nutting orientation relationship with vanadium nitride which
precipitated at manganese sulfide. According to classical nucleation theory, the proeutectoid ferrite nucleation rate depends
on the following factors: (1) the driving free energy for ferrite nucleation, (2) the diffusivity of carbon atoms in austenite,
and (3) the increase in the interfacial energy associated with ferrite nucleation. In the Baker-Nutting orientation relationship,
the lattice mismatch across the habit planes is likely to be very small. Depleted zones of solute atoms such as vanadium are
assumed to be formed in the austenite matrix around precipitates. The effect of the depleted zones on factors (1) and (2)
is estimated thermodynamically and it is proved that those effects are negligibly small. Thus, we conclude that the most important
factor in nucleation kinetics of intragranular ferrite is the formation of precipitates which can develop coherent, low energy
interfaces with ferrite. 相似文献

Alloying element partition and growth kinetics of proeutectoid ferrite in deformed austenite were studied in an Fe-0.1C-3Mn-1.5Si
alloy. Very small ferrite particles, less than several microns in size, were formed within the austenite matrix, presumably
at twin boundaries as well as at austenite grain boundaries. Scanning transmission electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray
(STEM-EDX) analysis revealed that Mn was depleted and Si was enriched in the particles formed at temperatures higher than
943 K (670 °C). These were compared with the calculation of local equilibrium in quaternary alloys, in which the difference
in diffusivity between two substitutional alloying elements was assumed to be small compared to the difference from the carbon
diffusivity in austenite. Although the growth kinetics were considerably faster than calculated under volume diffusion control,
a fine dispersion of ferrite particles was readily obtained in the partition regime due to sluggish growth engendered by diffusion
of Mn and Si. 相似文献

parameter, β, was also defined to estimate the extent of variation in B2↔A2 order-disorder phase transformation temperatures upon ternary
alloying additions. The RPOE parameter, β, takes into account both the effects of magnitude of partial ordering energies of Al-X and Fe-X atomic pairs and also the
lattice site occupation preferences of X element atoms over B2-type ordered Fe-Al sublattices. The alloying elements, which
are preferentially distributed Fe sublattice sites, β > 0, and owing to β >> 1, are more effective in increasing order-disorder transformation temperature in Fe-Al (B2) intermetallics. On the contrary,
alloying elements having β < 1 tend to decrease the transition temperature slightly relative to the binary FeAl intermetallic. The experimentally determined
B2↔A2 order-disorder transition temperatures are in good qualitative or semiquantitative agreement with theoretical predictions
for all X ternary alloying elements. Accordingly, the present experimental results confirm the validity of the theoretical
