Abstract
A numerical model has been presented in this paper which simulates the austenite to pearlite phase transformation undergone by a 0.8% plain carbon steel. Both heat transfer and phase transformation were modelled and the model was verified by matching the complete cooling curve. The macro-microscopic model developted for the austenite-pearlite (eutectoid) reaction was in particular verified for its accurary by matching eutectoid hold time. However in this work the nucleation rate was not modelled and the growth rate was modelled with a fixed number of nucleants. The results including the undercooling obtained were satisfactory in spite of these drawbacks.Keywords
