Popis: We present computer simulations of austenite decomposition to ferrite and bainite during cooling. The phase transformation model is based on Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov type equations. The model is parameterized by numerical fitting to continuous cooling data obtained with Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator and it can be used for calculation of the transformation behavior occurring during cooling along any cooling path. The phase transformation model has been coupled with heat conduction simulations. The model includes separate parameters to account for the incubation stage and for the kinetics after the transformation has started. The incubation time is calculated with inversion of the CCT transformation start time. For heat conduction simulations we employed our own parallelized 2-dimensional finite difference code. In addition, the transformation model was also implemented as a subroutine in commercial finite-element software Abaqus which allows for the use of the model in various engineering applications.
