Abstract
Algorithms and a computer software package for calculating thermophysical material properties of carbon and low-alloyed steels, associated with the simulation of solidification processes, have been developed. The earlier studies on kinetic phase transformation modeling are applied and are the base of the present work. The calculation algorithms are based on thermodynamic theory connected to thermodynamic assessment data, as well as on regression formulas of experimental data, and they take into account the temperature, the cooling rate, and the steel composition. The calculation algorithms and some results of calculations are presented in this article.
