Abstract
We propose a study of the heterogeneous precipitation of NbC in α-iron by Monte Carlo simulations based on a simple atomic description of the main mechanisms which control the kinetic pathway: - realistic diffusion properties, with a rapid diffusion of C atoms by interstitial jumps and a slower diffusion of Fe and Nb atoms by vacancy jumps - a simple model of dislocation which interacts with solute atoms through local segregation energies and long range elastic field. We study the effect of the supersaturation on the kinetic of precipitation and we show the elastic field associated with the dislocation clearly favored the heterogeneous precipitation of NbC.
