The RAFM (reduced activation ferritic/martensitic) steels containing different tantalum contents (0 wt. %, 0. 027 wt. %, 0. 073 wt. %) were designed and cast. Differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy were employed to explore the influence of tantalum content on the austenitic transformation of RAFM steels. The austenitic transformation kinetics was described by a phase-transformation model. The model, involving site saturation nucleation, diffusion-controlled growth and impingement correction, was established based on the classical Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov model. The phase-transformation kinetics parameters, including Do (pre-exponential factor for diffusion) and Q(d) (activation energy for diffusion), were calculated by fitting the experimental data and the kinetic model. The results indicated that the average grain size is decreased with the increase of tantalum. The values of A(c1), and A(c3) (onset and finish temperature of austenitic transformation, respectively) are increased by increasing the tantalum content. The increase of tantalum caused the decrease of D-0. However, Q(d) is increased with the increase of tantalum. In addition, as a carbides forming element, tantalum would reduce the carbon diffusion coefficient and slow down the austenitic transformation rate.
