The reliable production of EAF processed steels requires a robust understanding of the kinetics of microstructure formation and how they are influenced by compositional and processing variations.

In this PhD, synchrotron X-ray diffraction will be used to track the evolving crystallography in steel samples over a wide range of cooling rates and isothermal dwells. The diffraction data will be interpreted to quantify the phase fractions and lattice parameter evolution, which in turn will allow...
