Project Title Modeling and optimization of phase transitions in steel
Description Steel is still the basic construction material for industrial societies. A distinct feature of steel is that one can change its physical properties by thermal interference. The reason for this behavior lies in the occurring solid--solid phase transitions. It is utilized in the heat treatment of steel, which is a process of controlled heating and cooling to achieve a desired distribution of metallurgical phases corresponding to locally varying, heterogeneous physical properties.
The mathematical description of solid-solid phase transitions in steel started with the pioneering works of Avrami and Kolmogorov in the thirties of the last century. They investigated so-called nucleation- and growth phase transitions like the transformation from austenite to pearlite.
Stimulated by the development of ever-faster computer hardware, numerous papers were published on the numerical simulation of diffusion controlled phase transitions in steel. The first analytical investigation of phase transitions in steel, concerned with the austenite - pearlite transformation, is due to Visintin.
In a series of papers, Hömberg has investigated the interplay between temperature evolution and phase volume fractions in steel, with respect to modeling and analysis as well as with respect to numerical simulations of heat treatments. In a joint project with industrial partners and metallurgists from the TU Bergakademie Freiberg related to laser and electron beam hardening, temperature-dependent data functions for a number of important steels have been identified.
During the last 15 years, also the thermomechanical modeling of phase transitions in steel became an active research topic of physical metallurgy. It seems that there is no unified thermomechanical model at hand so far that is well accepted and that allows to reproduce all experiments. However, it is quite clear what the principle effects are that a macroscopic model be able to reproduce.
