Abstract

A multi-component multi-phase-field model was conducted to simulate the solidification process of Fe-Mn-C-Al high-Mn steel with different solidification modes, especially that with the peritectic phase transition. The evolution of the microstructure and solute distribution during the solidification process was analyzed. In addition, the influence of the C content, cooling rate, and thermal undercooling was discussed. The results reveal that the area of interfaces and solute distribution influence the evolution of phase fractions. The amount of initial ferrite phase, the solute distribution formed by the initial ferrite phase, and the nucleation position of austenite phase are key factors affecting the microstructure morphology and microsegregation. The microstructure and microsegregation have an interactive effect. Increasing C content changes the solidification mode, leading to different microstructure and microsegregation. For all the steel with different C contents, the cooling rate and undercooling do not influence the phase transition sequence, while they affect the microstructure and microsegregation. The cooling rate and thermal undercooling have more influence on the solidification process of hypo-peritectic high-Mn steel than hyper-peritectic steel. The present study contributes to providing significant reference for the process control of the microstructure morphology and microsegregation of peritectic high-Mn steel.
