The Coupling of Interphase Boundary Migration and Precipitation: Example of a Microalloyed Nb‐Containing Steel

The microstructural changes that occur during the processing of many important metals and alloys usually result from the competition and interactions between different ‘modes’ of microstructural change. In complex systems the variety of possible behaviours arising from simultaneous coupled modes of microstructural evolution can indeed be very rich. An interesting example comes from the thermo‐mechanical processing of microalloyed steels. In …
