-
Published:2008
Abstract
This chapter provides a classification of the types of microstructural changes and transformations and then reviews each type. It presents the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation and explains the thermodynamics of eutectic solidification and eutectoid transformation. An appendix covers growth of eutectoid structure in carburized pearlite.
