Application of computational modeling to the kinetics of precipitation of aluminum nitride in steels by e Silva Costa A., Nakamura L., Rizzo F.

“…The correct description of the precipitation of AlN in both phases is relevant to: (a) the precipitation at higher temperatures, in the austenite field, that occurs in some steels, (b) the concurrent precipitation of this nitride with the annealing treatment, when the steel is mostly ferritic, used in the processing of some types of deep drawing steels (c) the precipitation of this nitride in some silicon alloyed electric steels at relatively high temperatures, when these steels can have significant fractions of BCC and FCC in their microstructure. The precise knowledge of the precipitation-dissolution behavior of AlN in special in these two latter classes of steels is of great importance to their correct processing. …”
