New insights of heterogeneous nucleation and anisotropic growth of acicular ferrite on non-metallic inclusion

This work studies the acicular ferrite (AF) nucleation and growth from a classical defect, i.e. non-metallic inclusion surface. The heterogeneous AF-nucleation probability on NMI is predicted by a mathematical model following the classical nucleation theory. The calculation results are in consistent...
