Description

The carbon composition profile build up ahead of the allotriomorphic ferrite/austenite interface in the residual austenite, is examined here using a finite difference method to stimulate any homogenisation of concentration. The main advantage of the application of finite difference method to this problem is that it can handle the changing boundary conditions during the homogenisation process.

The finite difference method is based on the technique discussed by Crank [6]. The model assumes one dimensional diffusion process ahead of a planar allotriomorphic-austenite interface. The initial profile set up at time t=0.0, is given by analytical equation calculated by Coates [3,4,5]. The composition profile is then subjected to finite difference method after normalising the variables to dimensionless quantities suitable for this method.

Further Comments

The coefficient R=D*t/x**2 of the general finite difference equation described by Cranck [3,4,5] is taken to be 0.1. This particular value was assumed after checking that variation of R coefficient from 0.1 - 0.3 made negligible difference to the results.
