Description

MAP_STEEL_SENSITISATION_AUSTENITIC contains the program which enable the user to predict sensitisation of austenitic stainless steels as a function of chemical composition, temperature and heat treatment time. All thermodynamic calculations are performed internally by MTDATA. The software uses MTDATA .mpi database file which has to be created earlier by the user, using the ACCESS module of MTDATA.

Once uncompressed, MAP_STEEL_SENSITISATION_AUSTENITIC contains:
sensitisation.f
The source code for the program.
compile
A unix shell script to compile the program and link it to MTDATA object files. It needs to be edited to point to the directory where the latter are found.
DATA
A file containing information about the name of the component in solvent, the matrix phase, composition filename, database filename and output filename.
DATABASE.mpi
An example database file for the model.
CPTFIL
A file containing information about the composition of the steel and heat treatment temperature.
PROFILE
Contains information about the distance used in the model.
OUTFIL
An example output file for the model.
README
A text file containing instructions for running the program.

Parameters

Input parameters

The user is required to provide the alloy chemical composition, heat treatment time and temperature, and the maximum distance from the grain boundary to the matrix.

Output parameters

The model will give the concentration of all elements in the system as a function of time and distance. The volume fraction of carbide is also calculated. The output is written in the file OUTFIL.
