Abstract

In order to understand the mechanism of the massive type of phase transformation, it is essential to study its critical limit in the phase diagram and to analyze the results with theoretical models. The model, based on the interaction between solute atoms and the migrating interface, is described in detail and applied to binary alloys. The importance of the relation between the mobility of the interface relative to the atomic mobilities inside the interface is emphasized. Specimens with a constant heat or carbon content offer valuable experimental variables. It is, thus, possible to force the interface to advance slowly.
