Simulation of the Crystallization Process in Low-Carbon Low-Alloy Steels

An algorithm is proposed for predicting the phase composition of low-alloy titanium-containing steels after solidification. The algorithm takes the possibility of precipitation of four phases into account: TiN, TiS, MnS, and TiC0.5S0.5. Calculations were carried out in which the change in the phase composition of steel in the course of crystallization was studied, as well as the effect of the Ti, N, and S contents in the alloy on the amount of precipitation phases formed.
