A model for recalescence has been established by integrating a model for the decomposition of austenite and one dealing with heat transfer with latent heat release taken into account. The effects of recalescence on each individual austenite transformation product have been studied. It was found that Widmanstätten ferrite and pearlite reactions are most affected. The calculated cooling curve, as affected by the recalescence, has also been verified with a commercial steel subjected to two different environment conditions.
