The solidification of low-carbon manganese steels has been studied by unidirectional solidification techniques. The primary and secondary dendrite arm spacings are evaluated as functions of growth rate and temperature gradient. The conditions required for metastable formation of austenite are investigated experimentally and theoretically and the dendrite structure is discussed from a theoretical viewpoint.
