Martensite: Morphology and Modes | Steel | Metallurgy

In this article we will discuss about the morphology and modes of martensite. Morphology of Martensite: Martensitic transformation takes place by a combination of two shears-one of which is homogeneous lattice (shape) deformation (called pure strain). In steels, it may be taken as Bain strain. It is assumed to occur to achieve the new lattice of martensite from austenite. The [...]
