Modeling of Growth and Formation of Pearlite Colonies for Simple Models of Alloys Iron-Carbon

Abstract

Growth and formation of pearlite colonies are simulated for some simple models of alloysiron-carbon. The steady-state growth is shown to be possible only via the interfacial but not the volumecarbon diffusion mechanism. The model of formation of pearlite colonies based on assumptions ofstrong enhancement of carbon diffusion near grain boundaries is suggested.
