Abstract

A finite-difference implicit numerical model was used to study the diffusion-controlled α-γ solid-state phase transformation in the Fe-Cr-Ni system. The influence of a non-uniform initial composition distribution was examined in order to assess the impact that non-uniform solute profiles resulting from solidification may have on subsequent transformation behavior in weldments and castings. A significant impact on the transformation kinetics and transformation path was found in some cases. The factors that affect the degree of influence are discussed.
