3D modelling of ferrite and austenite grain coarsening using real-valued cellular automata based on transition function

The study, conducted in collaboration with TATA-STEEL (EUROPE) provides the industry with a new tool for modelling and simulation of normal grain growth in low carbon steels, known to be corrosion-stable, which is used for manufacturing bearings, structural frames, and cars. The model, which has been shown to provide excellent microstructure prediction accuracy across a wide range of temperatures, allows for the first time to compute crucial material parameters such as the grain boundary driving force, velocity and mobility that are hardly accessible experimentally.
