13 Effect of GS on phase transformation temperatures According to Minz et al. the GS has a small effect on A 3 temperature in the grain size range of 100 um - 1000 um. Here Steels C and D. Note the different behaviour of Steel C compared to Steels A, B, and E. In Steel D both ferrite (A 3 ) and bainite transformations.

Conclusions 16 According to Minz et al., the austenite GS has a small effect on A 3 temperature in the grain size range of 100 µm - 1000 µm. However, the present results indicate that coarse grain size can decrease A 3 -temperature notably in some steels. The shift can be over 100 C between GS of 20 and 1000 um. The results of dilatometry tests are in consistence with the results of the JMatPro simulations in the case of relatively small GS (20 µm - 100 µm). In the large GS corresponding to continuously cast steels, there is sometimes a significant difference between the dilatometric data and the austenite transformation temperatures calculated by JMatPro. Thus, understanding and maybe a new prediction model is necessary in order to model the decomposition of austenite in the continuously cast steels accurately.
