Abstract

A microscopic carbon diffusion simulation system has been developed to investigate homogenisation process during re-heating of slab inside furnaces. Models with initial grain divisions of specified percentage of pearlite and ferrite are generated by a Virtual Grain Generation Programme. The virtual grain models are imported into ABAQUS through Pathon script file for further mesh and model definitions. Effect of temperature on the diffusion process has been analyzed by use of the simulation system. Three different reheating temperatures as 1423K, 1473K and 1523K has been selected, and the carbon content of calculation is all selected as 0.14%.The computation result show that the homogenization time is 4007s as the diffusion temperature is 1423K, 2504s as temperature is 1473K and 1308s as temperature is 1523K. When the diffusion time is 40.5s, the difference of two temperature's concentration difference arrive at maximum, the concentration difference of 1523K is larger 25.1ppm than that of 1423K.
