Calculation of the retained austenite content in steels using X-ray diffracted intensities from austenite and ferrite.
Language: | C |
Product form: | Source code. |
Platform: | Any Unix and Linux systems. |
Complete program.
The program uses inputs from your X-ray diffraction results and calculates the retained austenite content of the steel. The code has been developed based on the following equation that relates the integrated intensities with volume fraction of austenite and ferrite:
v | = | Atomic volume of unit cell | |
F | = | Structure Factor | Proportional to the ratio of the amplitude of wave scattered by an atom to the amplitude of the wave scattered by one electron. |
p | = | Multiplicity factor | Takes into account the number of equivalent planes that contribute for a reflection. |
e-2m | = | Temperature factor | Incorporates the effect of temperature which is known to decrease the intensity of diffracted beam. |
Lp | = | Lorentz-polarisation factor | Combination of the Lorentz factor and the polarisation factor; Polarisation factor includes the effect of the electron acceleration in different directions (depending on the electric component of the beam) on the intensity of the scattered beam at any point of consideration; Lotrentz factor includes the geometric factors that affect the intensity of the beam |
