AC3 and AC1 Temperatures

The document provides equations to calculate the AC3 and AC1 temperatures of firkelloy materials based on their chemical composition in weight percent. The AC3 equation is Ac3=910 - 203(C)^.5 - 15.2Ni + 44.7Si + 104V + 31.5Mo + 13.1W. The AC1 equation is Ac1=723 - 10.7Mn - 16.9Ni + 29.1Si + 16.9Cr + 290As + 6.38W. These equations were obtained from a book and work well for most alloys, but may provide inaccurate results for alloys with high chromium content.

AC3 and AC1 temperatures

This information comes from G. Krauss in Steels: Heat Treatment and Processing Principles (an excellent
book). Krauss got the equations from KW Andrews, Empirical Formaulae for the Calculation of Some
Transformation Temperatures, JISI, Vol 203, 1965, p721-727:

Ac3=910 - 203(C)^.5 - 15.2Ni + 44.7Si + 104V + 31.5Mo + 13.1W

Ac1=723 - 10.7Mn - 16.9Ni + 29.1Si + 16.9Cr + 290As + 6.38W

This gives you the temperature in deg C, when you enter in the weight percent of the element. I found that
these equations work well for most alloys. When you get into large amounts of chromium (>> 1 wt%), they
fail, giving an Ac3<Ac1.
