A formal mathematical approach to cooling curve analysis of multiple simultaneous transformations is introduced for the first time. The goal of this methodology is to measure individual phase fractions during free cooling. Transformation start...

Dilatometry and cooling curve analysis (CCA) are two methods of determining the evolution of a phase transformation with temperature. The two methods are similar conceptual in that they take an indirect measure of the transformation and extract...

Minor changes in the composition of the steel defined in any welding procedure will have a major effect on the final properties of the welded part. Constant cooling transformation diagrams (CCT) are used to determine the final microstructure...

across which heat transfer takes place. We also developed a simple model of heat transfer into the droplet by one-dimensional conduction across a thin boundary layer which gives estimates of droplet cooling effectiveness that agree well with results from...

When carrying out measurements of cooling crystallization in crystallizers in different sugar factories it was found, that supersaturation diminishes at cooling rate of 1 ti 2 K/h in initial phase. It is only at low temperatures that supersaturation...

Today, most sugar factories operate with approximately linear cooling curves. The cooling rate is about 1 K/h. Such a slow cooling rate leads to crystallization periods lasting more than 40 h. Because of the dependence of the crystallization rate...
