| Abstract Scope |
Applied magnetic fields change the thermodynamic and kinetic behavior of phase transformation in steel alloys. This behavior is used in Induction-coupled thermomagnetic processing (ITMP) to lower the energy usage of steel heat treatment. We are using a multiscale approach to better understand the impact of a magnetic field on the steel phase transformation. Atomic-scale simulations are being used to investigating the impact of an applied magnetic field on the thermodynamics and kinetics of the iron-carbon system. A mesoscale phase field model is being developed in the MOOSE framework to predict the iron-carbon microstructure that forms when heat treating in an applied magnetic field. Mesoscale mechanics simulations are being used to predict the mechanical properties of these materials. The data from these lower length-scale simulations are being used to add the impact of an applied magnetic field to macroscale models of steel heat treatment in the DANTE software. |
