Mathematical Model and Simulation of Austenite Reverse Phase Transformation Process in Cold Rolled Low Carbon Steel

Abstract

Based on the reverse austenite transformation process of cold rolled low carbon steel and the deformation energy storage, the mathematical model of phase transformation temperature and structure transformation of austenite reverse transformation was established by using Scheil transformation kinetics. The different heating temperature of austenite and deformation amount of the austenite reverse transformation structure are numerically simulated. The inverse transformation process of austenite was calculated by Matlab, the calculation results show that the austenite transformation temperature AS increases with the increase of heating rate and comes to a constant value. The influence of deformation on AS decreases with the increase of heating rate.Austenite grain size and the temperature is approximately exponential. The accuracy of the model was verified by experimental analysis of the microstructure under different process conditions.
