The Formation Energy of Martensite Nuclei and the Phase Transition Kinetics under the Action of an External Magnetic Field
Keyword(s):
The formation energy of martensite nuclei in the austenite matrix is calculated. Nanoclusters with ferromagnetic order, which exist in austenite above the Curie temperature, reduce the formation energy of a critical martensite nucleation center when exposed to an external magnetic field. The data obtained are explained by the magnetic separation of the initial phase under the action of a magnetic field. A fluctuation increase in nanovolumes with a ferromagnetic order in austenite increases the energy in a atoms group of the matrix phase with a parallel spins arrangement. As a result, the nucleation rate of the martensite phase increases and the martensitic transformation proceeds more completely.
