Abstract
Similarity theory is used to analyze phase transformations in iron and steel during heating. A kinetic equation is obtained by assumption of self-similarity of the phase transition. Experimental data are processed and effective kinetic parameters determined. It is concluded from the results obtained that the elementary act of phase transition consists of a cooperate transition into the new phase of regions containing (1−2)·102 atoms.
