Abstract

Advancement of the Q&P process—a suitable means for austenite stabilization—requires modeling techniques that accurately predict the C redistribution process. In the current work, thermokinetic modeling of the C redistribution is performed, including an approach to describe the discrepancy in the C chemical potential within martensite resulting from the presence of defects. Good agreement between model and experiment is obtained, thus contributing to the fundamental understanding of the physical metallurgy involved in the Q&P process.
