Simulation of the Solidification and Microstructural Evolution in Steel Casting Processes Using the InterDendritic Solidification Tool

InterDendritic Solidification (IDS) is a thermodynamic–kinetic software combined with microstructure tool developed to simulate the nonequilibrium solidification (non-EQS) of steels. Herein, its main calculation module, (SOL), introduced, and some essential results that such as formation ferrite austenite in different types steels during their solidification, dissolution precipitates subsequent cooling heating processes, respectively, following are presented. The non-EQS compared equilibrium poor-kinetics demonstrate effect kinetics on using finite solute diffusion data. comparable modified Scheil simulation ignoring solid-state slowly moving metallic elements.
