Analysis of transformations in materials using the principle of least action

Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    We have suggested an approach to the analysis of the transformation rules in metals based on the use of the principle of least action.

  2. 2.

    We have established a rule for determining the leading phase in eutectic and eutectoid crystallization of alloys directly from the phase diagram.

  3. 3.

    We state that under the conditions of advanced methods of heat treatment the transformations in metals occur under the conditions of minimum action.
