This paper presents a new microstructural model of the metastable eutectoid transformation in spheroidal graphite cast irons. The model takes into account the nucleation and growth of pearlite nodules. The nucleation is ...

This paper presents a new microstructural model of the stable eutectoid transformation in a spheroidal cast iron. The model takes into account the nucleation and growth of ferrite grains and the growth of graphite spheroids. ...

The three-step austempering heat treatment of ductile iron parts in this paper is simulated by employing a coupled thermo-mechanical-metallurgical model. The thermo-mechanical formulation is solved in the macroscale using ...

Austempered ductile iron is frequently employed in the fabrication of automobile parts due to its good mechanical properties, and its simplicity and low cost of the manufacturing process. The heat treatment design is an ...

A new model of graphite growth during the continuous cooling of eutectic spheroidal cast iron is presented in this paper. The model considers the nucleation and growth of graphite from pouring to room temperature. The ...

The Thermo-Mecano-Metallurgical modelling of welding is considered in this thesis, where the high non-linearity and the multiphysics character of the problem makes necessary to study different areas of Computational ...

This work is focused on the modelling of post casting cooling and heat treatment stages, using a coupled thermo-mechanical metallurgical model in order to understand the behavior of bimetallic rolling mill rolls. The ...
