Abstract: | The present article is concerned with the theoretical and experimental study of the growth kinetics of allotriomorphic ferrite
in medium carbon vanadium-titanium microalloyed steel. A theoretical model is presented in this work to calculate the evolution
of austenite-to-allotriomorphic ferrite transformation with time at a very wide temperature range. At temperatures above eutectoid
temperature, where allotriomorphic ferrite is the only austenite transformation product, the soft-impingement effect should be taken into account in the modeling. In that case, the Gilmour et al. analysis reliably predicts the progress of austenite-to-allotriomorphic ferrite transformation in this steel. By contrast,
since pearlite acts as a carbon sink, the carbon enrichment of austenite due to the previous ferrite formation is avoided,
and carbon concentration in austenite far from the α/γ interface remains the same as the overall carbon content of the steel. Hence, the soft-impingement effect should be neglected,
and allotriomorphic ferrite is considered to grow under a parabolic law. Therefore, assumption of a semi-infinite extent austenite
with constant boundary conditions is suitable for the kinetics of the isothermal decomposition of austenite. An excellent
agreement (higher than 93 pct in R
2) has been obtained between the experimental and predicted values of the volume fraction of ferrite in all of the ranges of
temperature studied. |
