SUBROUTINE MAP_STEEL_AVOLF(AREA,ANS,VF,SV,BI,TIME,ETA,ALP1,ZETA, & XBAR,XAGA,XGAG) DOUBLE PRECISION ALP1,ANS,AREA,ARG,BI,ETA,SV,TIME,PHI,PI,VF DOUBLE PRECISION XAGA,XBAR,XGAG,ZETA DOUBLE PRECISION THETA(51),FUN(51) INTEGER IDUM,I
The subroutine MAP_STEEL_AVOLF determines the extent of allotriomorphic ferrite reaction, VOL, by numerical solution of equation 7 from reference 1:
 
| 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. | 
| 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. |
