Crystallographic Theory of Martensitic Transformation | Steel | Metallurgy

In this article we will discuss about the crystallographic theory of martensitic transformation in steels. In martensitic transformation in steels, the crystal lattice changes from FCC (austenite), to BCT (martensite). The parallel reference scratches (Fig. 3.45) on prepolished surface remain parallel, straight and continuous across the austenite-martensite interface after the transformation means homogeneous deformation must have taken place. The continuity [...]

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 [...]
