Abstract

The generalized continual hole gas model and Monte Carlo simulations were used to study the growth of colonies and lamellar segregations in the decomposition of metastable phases. The morphology of segregations qualitatively changed as the temperature decreased and depended substantially on the initial state (the presence of grain boundaries and critical equilibrium phase nuclei). The simulation results were compared with the kinetics of growth of eutectic colonies and morphologies of the decomposition of metastable austenite.
