The laws of carbide phases nucleation were analyzed in the context of the complex-alloy heat-resistant steels carburization. Numerical experiments and metallographic investigations of steel and model alloys diffusion layers structures were applied to determine the predominant mechanism for the formation of refractory carbide phases.
complex-alloy steels, theory of nucleation, refractory carbides.
