Summary:

This article discusses how how to optimize a way to derive the transformation kinetics parameters from dilatometry experiments.

How was DANTE Used?:

DANTE was used as the commercial software package to optimize the algorithm for kinetics parameters by using Pyrowear 53 steel as the example.
