Modelling simultaneous precipitation reactions in austenitic stainless steels
نویسنده
چکیده
A physical model has been developed for simultaneous precipitation reactions in austenitic stainless steels, taking into account interactions between phases. Comparisons against experimental results show satisfying agreement, with the model successfully predicting the existence of transient phases that are often observed, but not predicted in equilibrium calculations. An analysis of σ -phase kinetics, especially the effect of grain size, supports the hypothesis that the formation of this phase depends more on the availability of high energy nucleation sites than on the driving force for its formation. The study underlines a lack of thermodynamic data for important phases in creep-resistant austenitic stainless steels. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Stainless steel has been frequently used for temporary implants but its use as permanent implants is restricted due to its low pitting corrosion resistance. Nitrogen additions to these steels improve both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, particularly the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance. Many reports concerning allergic reactions caused by nickel led to the development of...

A method based on the kinetics of crystal growth has been developed and applied to the computation of three-dimensional microstrucuture in austenite-matensite steels. The detailed crystallography of the transformation is used to model a realistic martensitic microstrucuture during the transformation without an external system of stresses. The interaction energy based on the plastic work model i...
