Our Rate Dependent Austenitizing Model simulates carbon dissolution into austenite, suitable for both low heating and high heating rate processes.
It is applicable to:
Different austenitizing temperatures and soaking times produce different carbon concentrations in austenite, which in turn causes the martensite start temperature to be different during quenching.
The DANTE rate dependent austenitizing and carbide decomposition models capture this relationship and can be used to accurately predict:
Carbon evolution in austenite is modeled as a function of:
