The cellular automaton was employed to mimic the grain transformation of three types of single and smaller grains during austenite grain development.The austenite grains are quadrilateral, hexagonal, or octagonal, each surrounded by a limited number of adjacent grains. The results indicate that during austenite grain development, grains with a boundary number exceeding six continue to expand, approaching a boundary number of six, whereas grains with a boundary number below six progressively decline until they vanish. The austenite grain development process in weathering steel was seen in situ using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).The CLSM results confirmed the development law of austenite grain as simulated by cellular automata. The used model possesses a superior physical foundation for modeling the advancement of austenite grain development.
