Abstract
The “transformation stasis” phenomenon during the isothermal bainitic ferrite formation in a series of Fe-C-X (X = Mo, Ni, Si ) alloys has been analyzed. Both the Gibbs energy balance (GEB) approach and the \(T_0\) model have been applied to model the “transformation stasis” phenomenon, and their predictions are compared with experimental results. The \(T_0\) model failed in predicting the transformation stasis (TS) phenomenon for the alloys investigated here, while the GEB predictions are in very good agreement with experimental data. It is found that Mo has a very strong effect on the TS phenomenon, while the effect of Si is found to be negligible. Ni has an intermediate effect.
