Dear Bernd,

Thank you so much for your kind help !

We have tried it one more time but the results still seems un-normal. I have sent the in.file to you. Please check it~

Thank you again for your kind help ! We appreciate you so much~

Regards,

Sai Li

Dear Sai-Li,

I tried to run the .in-file you sent me, using the same Version 6.3 as you did. The result looks like that:
0_6C2Mn_last_800_tp_fer_phas_mcr.png
0_6C2Mn_last_800_tp_fer_phas_mcr.png (17.59 KiB) Viewed 6657 times
For my understanding, symmetry is ok, not like in your image. That is strange, what do you do differently?

Dear Bernd,

Thank you so much for your kind help !

Our results are similar to you ! Maybe the interface missing at the initial stage is not an important matter. But may I ask why the migration rate of the alpha/gamma interface (middle part) is so slow ? it seems not consistent with the experimental results. Do we need to increase the interface energy ?

Thank you so much for your kind help and hard work ! We appreciate it so much !

Regards,

Sai Li

Hi Sai Li,

I do not know how fast it should be. The transformation is limited by carbon diffusion, and I cannot imagine that interface energies have a big influence on the middle part.
What I can imagine, however, is that assuming para-equilibrium instead of nple would speed up the transformation because the driving force is higher.
