The current work presents the numerical analysis of solid-state transformation kinetics relating to conventional welding of ferritic steels, with the aim of predicting the constituent phases in both the fusion zone and the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the weldment. The analysis begins with predictions of isothermal transformation kinetics using thermodynamic principles, such that the chemical composition of the parent metal is the sole user-defined input. The data is then converted to anisothermal transformation kinetics using the Scheil-Avrami additive rule, including the effects of peak temperature and austenite grain growth. Subroutines developed for the Abaqus finite element package use the semi-empirical approach described to predict phase transformations in SA508 Gr.3 Cl.1 steel. To study the effect of the cooling rates and the ability of the current model to predict the final microstructure, two weld samples were subjected to autogenous beam TIG welds under a fast (TG5-F, 5.00 mm/s) and slow (TG5-S, 1.25 mm/s) torch speed. Model validation is carried out by direct comparison with microstructural observations and hardness measurements (via nanoindentation) of the fusion and heat affected zones in both welds. Excellent agreement between the measured and predicted hardness has been found for both weld samples. Additionally, it is shown that the correct identification of the partial austenisation region is a crucial input parameter.

Rates of the solid state reaction which thermally converts racemic to optically active 1,1′-binaphthyl (mp 158 °C) have been determined at temperatures between 105 and 135 °C using polycrystalline samples. The presence of a sufficiently uniform distribution of enantiomorphic seed crystals results in a smooth conversion of the racemate to the eutectic crystal forms of binaphthyl. Although it is possible to force the resolution reaction almost to completion at higher temperatures (150 °C) where the melt phase is an intermediate, lower final specific rotations are obtained when only solid phases are involved (below 145 °C) because of the independent nucleation of racemic material from the reacting crystals. Both spontaneous nucleation and reaction rates in the solid state were increased by grinding the initially prepared samples and were decreased by the storage of samples. The Arrhenius activation energy of this phase transformation giving optically active product is ca. 60 kcal/mol in a variety of different samples. This is consistent with a mechanism in which a molecule of 1,1′-binaphthyl attains considerable freedom from the racemic solid in order to interconvert to its enantiomer and add to the growing optically active phase.
