A brief statement outlining the broad purpose of the data.
Provides data on formation of austenite in steels.
A more detailed explanation of the purpose of the data and on the cirmcumstances under which it was acquired. This may perhaps include some background theory and details of experimental equipment.
The tar file contains data on the formation of austenite in steels. File Austenite.data has the actual data, while Austenite.info contains an ASCII text version of this explanation.
The data are arranged in columns as follows :-
Format of data in file Austenite.data
Column 1: row number.
Column 2-21: concentrations of elements in the steel (weight percent) :-
Carbon
Silicon
Manganese
Sulphur
Phosphorus
Copper
Nickel
Chromium
Molybdenum
Niobium
Vanadium
Titanium
Aluminium
Boron
Tungsten
Arsenic
Tin
Zirconium
Cobalt
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Column 22: Ac1 temperature (centigrade).
Column 23: Ac3 temperature (centigrade).
Column 24: heating rate (K/s).
A list of references where more detailed background information can be found, including work in which the data appear. These need not be published works.
Any additional information which does not fit into another category.
None.
