Calculation of the kinetics of steel austenization in laser heating

We examine both the kinetic features and the present the formulation of the problem dealing with the distribution of carbon concentrations in an austenite, as well as the motion of the phase separation boundaries in the case of laser heating of pre-, post-, and eutectoid steels. We also obtain results from calculations carried out on a number of laser treatment regimes on eutectoid steel.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 57, No. 6, pp. 959–964, December, 1989.
