摘要
This work evaluated the isothermal transformation of austenite in unalloyed pearlitic ductile iron and drew the isothermal phase diagram of austenitization in the ductile iron, Austenite forms at grain boundaries and then grows up to graphite regions during austenitiza- tion. The formation kinetics of austenite complies with the Avrami equation, in which the parameter （n） ranges from 4.71 to 4.99. The start time and finish time of transformation can be calculated at each temperature using the Avrami equation.
