Purpose

FORTRAN module to calculate the mole fraction of precipitates and wt% of solute in ferrite. It also calculates the effective diffusivity which is proportional to the interface velocity of a precipitate considering a multicomponent system. This SHOULD NOT be used to calculate the interface velocity of a precipitate in a multiphase--multicomponent system. This program uses MTDATA.

Description

The program is used to calculate the equilibrium transformation temperatures in steel. The temperature at which ferrite starts to form from austenite is Ae3 and at which austenite completely transforms to ferrite is Ae1.
creep_module.mpiContains the inputs for MTDATA
creep_module.mprResult from MTDATA calculations
comp_dataContains composition in the order specified in Readme.txt file
temp_onlyYou need to specify the temperature for the corresponding composition data line in the file "comp_data", at which phase stability calculation is to be performed.
MTDATA_OUTPUTAll the calculations done by MTDATA are printed in this file
ppt_fraction_cContains mole fractions of all the phases
SOLID_SOLNThis file contains information about the wt% of dissolved solutes in ferrite. The format of this file is Cr Mo W V Nb N C (all in wt%). Note this format, since the file itself will not have any information about the format.
Deff.datContains the effective diffusivity (Deff) of M23C6, M6C, Laves Phases, HCP_A3, M7C3, VN, NbC and NbN respectively. The format of the file follows the same order.
one_by_D_eff.datThis file contains information about 1/Deff. Format of the file is same as in "Deff.dat". The values in this file can be approximated to the interface velocity of a precipititate considering multicomponents NOT multiphase. Calculated as in reference 1.
