Abstract

Several methods representing the evolution of microstructure were introduced, which include the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation, Internal State Variable (ISV) framework, Koistinen-Marburger (K-M) equation, modified Magee’s rule and phase field model, etc. By combining calculation of martensite transformation kinetics, considering the selection of parameters with the effect of austenite grain size ( AGS), some suitable ways of obtaining better results have been proposed.
