It is seen that interlamellar spacing in pearlite becomes finer by increasing rate of cooling. theoretically this is because the rapid cooling rate produces more nucleation sites for lamella percipitation. so i tried to create a mathematical model using gibbs free energy change during...

Why is retained austenite formed? i have studied the iron-carbon ttt and cooling curves and have understood under what conditions is retained austenite formed and how much of it is formed. but is there a structural argument for the formation of retained austenite? what is the mechanism by which...

Why is there a high density of grain boundaries in martensite? is it because of the structure of martensite? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
