Abstract
Cyclic phase transformation experiments are performed in a series of Fe-C-xMn, Fe-C-Mn-xNi, and Fe-C-Mn-xCo alloys to study the effect of alloying elements on the length of the stagnant stage during a cyclic partial phase transformation in the austenite–ferrite two-phase region. The length of stagnant stage increases linearly with the increasing Mn or Ni concentration, while Co has no effect. It was experimentally proven that the effects of alloying elements on the length of stagnant stage are additive, and the experimental results matched the predictions of the local equilibrium model very well.
