Abstract

Since previous equations fail to predict MS temperature of high carbon ferrous alloys, we first propose an equation for prediction of MS temperature of ferrous alloys containing > 2 wt pct C. The presence of carbides (Fe3C and Cr-rich M7C3) is thermodynamically considered to estimate the C concentration in austenite. Especially, equations individually specialized for lean and high Cr alloys very accurately reproduce experimental results. The chemical driving force for martensitic transformation is quantitatively analyzed based on the calculation of T0 temperature.
