A mixed-mode model considering soft impingement effects for solid-state partitioning phase transformations

摘要

The original mixed-mode model is reformulated by considering the soft impingement effect and applying a general polynomial method of dealing with the concentration gradient in front of the interface. Comparison with the numerical solution shows that the reformulated mixed-mode model is more precise than the original model. The effect of soft impingement on the kinetics of partitioning phase transformation depends on both the growth mode and the degree of super-saturation.
