This study addresses the task of predicting the transformation plasticity induced during phase transformation of the 16MND5 carbon steel from austenite to bainite under low externally applied stress using a semi-theoretical model based on the Greenwood-Johnson mechanism. Both models proposed by Leblond et al. (1989) and Taleb and Sidoroff (2003) sufficiently describe the evolution of the TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) during continuous cooling of the austenitic phase. Nevertheless, TRIP values predicted by these models underestimate measured data through the first half of the transformation and overestimate them through the second half. So, we propose in this paper a method to improve Taleb's model in order to remove discrepancies between theoretical and experimental results throughout the whole transformation and obtain a better description of experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
