ferrite calculations

ferrite calculations

(OP)
Is their such a thing to Calucalate the amount of Ferrite in a material?
My Specification calls for 15-45% Ferrite.
We are getting differant answers from the european community and the USA community.
Is their differant calculations/formulas?
Composition:
C 0.08
SI 1.50
Mn 1.50
P 0.04
S 0.04
Cr 18-22.0
Ni 9 - 13.0
Mo 3 - 4.0

Mecahnical
YS min 359MPa
TS min 650 MPA
Elongation Min 33%

Ferrite content 15-45%

Can this be done?

Simple calculation method presented by Avesta Sheffield. The formula for Avesta Ferrite Number FNA assumes parallel lines of constant ferrite numbers.
Creq = Cr + 1.5 Si + Mo + 2 Ti + 0.5 Nb
Nieq = Ni + 30 (C + N) + 0.5 Mn + 0.5 Cu + 0.5 Co
FNA = 3.34 Creq - 2.46 Nieq - 28.6

RE: ferrite calculations

You might also want to ave a look at a copy of ASTM A800/A800M-01 Standard Practice for Steel Casting, Austenitic Alloy, Estimating Ferrite Content Thereof, which contains a different formula to the one given by Rich2001


RE: ferrite calculations

If your spec calls for a certain amount of ferrite content it should also specify either per Schaeffler or by Delong or by WRC because they all use different  formula 's

RE: ferrite calculations

I use Schaeffler-DeLong diagram and corresponding formulas.  It takes the most elements into consideration.  A very simple spreadsheet can do all the calcs if you just input the element percentages, that is if you run ferrite calculations a lot.  Outokumpu (AvestaPolarit) is a good link:

Hope it helps.

RE: ferrite calculations

You will need to know your nitrogen level. It's very important.
