The activation energy determination in non-isothermal conditions for the solid-state phase transformation of 1035 steel

The activation energy of solid-state phase transformation for the steel has been evaluated by the isoconversional method. It is demonstrated that the linear fitting is a mathematically invalid procedure that generally invalidates the isoconversional method. As an alternative, we apply the advanced i...

Description
Summary:The activation energy of solid-state phase transformation for the steel has been evaluated by the isoconversional method. It is demonstrated that the linear fitting is a mathematically invalid procedure that generally invalidates the isoconversional method. As an alternative, we apply the advanced isoconversional method that can be used to determine the activation energy of solid-state phase transformation of 1035 steel. The activation energy determined by this method varies with the transformed phase fraction. The variation of the activation energy was interpreted by the nucleation and growth model. It is shown that the advanced isoconversional method can be recommended as a trustworthy way of determining the activation energy of solid-state phase transformation of 1035 steel.
