Heat treatment of Type 304 stainless steel in the range of 1273 K (1000 °C) to 1473 K (1200 °C) can transform manganese silicate inclusions to manganese chromite (spinel) inclusions. During heat treatment, Cr reacts with manganese silicate to form spinel. The transformation rate of inclusions depends strongly on both temperature [in the range of 1273 K to 1473 K (1000 °C to 1200 °C)] and inclusion size. A kinetic model, developed using FactSage macros, showed that these effects agree quantitatively with diffusion-controlled transformation. A simplified analytical model, which can be used for rapid calculations, predicts similar transformation kinetics, in agreement with the experimental observations.
