The thermodynamics of irreversible processes is introduced in order to deal with phenomena driven by multiple forces. This leads naturally to the kinetics and mechanism of the allotriomorphic ferrite transformation is described in substitutionally alloyed steels, dealing with the NP-LE and P-LE mechanisms and paraequilibrium. Also a treatment of massive ferrite and interface-controlled growth.
