Purpose

The revised version of STRUCTURE To calculate the evolution of microstructure (ferrite, Widmanstätten ferrite and pearlite) of steel as a function of the chemical composition, cooling rate and austenite grain size. The main differences from MAP_STEEL_STRUCTURE are; - Cu included as an alloying element - Logic of calculating the final fractions of phases modified - bug fix (especially when working on Linux)

Further Comments

This program only deals with thermodynamic effect of alloying elements and does not consider kinetic effects such as, solute drag. Precipitation of copper is not permitted.
