Parameters

Input parameters

Name Type Description
SV real austenite grain boundary surface area per unit volume (in m-1).
BI real allotriomorphic ferrite boundary nucleation rate per unit area (in m-2s-1).
TIME real time elapsed since the start of cooling (in seconds).
ALP1 real one-dimensional parabolic thickening rate constant perpendicular to the grain boundary (in ms-0.5).
ETA real the ratio of the one-dimensional parabolic lengthening rate constant parallel to the grain boundary, to the 1-d parabolic thickening rate constant (ALP1). It is usually defined as 3.
XBAR real mole fraction of carbon in the bulk austenite.
XAGA real mole fraction of carbon in ferrite at the alpha/alpha+gamma boundary.
XGAG real mole fraction of carbon in austenite at the gamma/gamma+alpha boundary.

Output parameters

Name Type Description
AREA real fraction of austenite grain boundary covered by ferrite.
ANS real value of the integral.
VF real actual volume fraction of allotriomorphic ferrite formed.
ZETA real volume fraction of ferrite formed, divided by the equilibrium volume fraction of ferrite.
