Popis: We present calculations of austenite to bainite phase transformation start for different cooling paths and for different steel compositions and a method to estimate the cooling water required to cool a steel strip to desired temperatures during water cooling line after industrial hot rolling. We also quantitatively compare how different alloying elements affect the phase transformation activation energy and the time required for the transformation to start and proceed to the extent that it can be detected with dilatometer. This analysis can be used for aid when designing suitable cooling paths for hot rolled steel products. The calculations of the activation energy can be used as input in more detailed microstructure models.
