Objective
Models for describing phase transformations from work-hardened austenite are classically based on an "homogeneous equivalent austenite" and do not take into account important factors such as: the effect of austenite recovery on subsequent phase transformation, the dislocation substructure in austenite or the effect of partially re-crystallised austenite. The project has two main objectives, to characterise the state of austenite, after deformation and cooling, before transformation based on microstructural features in order to provide adequate date for future phase transformation modelling and to relate the state of austenite to phase transformation kinetics and final microstructure on the basis of a study of nucleation and growth mechanisms and to improve upon the classical hot deformation test results and find a common methodology.
