Numerical Simulation of Precipitates Evolution in Iron-Based Alloys

Abstract

Approaches used for simulation of precipitates evolution in multicomponent systems are analyzed in brief. Simulation of precipitates growth and dissolution in such systems, simulation of a polydisperse particle ensemble evolution at different stages and possibilities of taking into account nucleation during precipitates growth from a supersaturated solid solution are considered by an example of iron-carbon alloys. The problems to be solved are formulated.
