Nucleation and Growth of Solid-State Transformations: Progress Report, August 1, 1987-July 31, 1988

摘要

Research is being done on transformation plasticity in steels. A model for the kinetics of strain-induced transformation of dispersed austenite, using data for the martensitic transformation of iron particles precipitated in a copper matrix, has been developed. Also completed was a study of strain-induced transformation kinetics, transformation plasticity and toughening in phosphocarbide-strenghtened austenitic steels. A model for strain induced transformation in finite element calculations has been implemented. (ERA citation 13:036753)
