Originally, a particular microstructure observed in quenched steels was called "martensite", in recognition of the well-known German metallurgist A. Martens. Presently, the name "martensite" is used to represent the resultant product phase from a parent phase which undergoes a martensitic transformation. It is now known that numerous alloys in addition to steels undergo martensitic transformations, so do ceramics. Various crystallographic characteristics are present in association with the martensitic transformation as listed in the follwing. (1)Because of the nature of the first-order phase transformation, the martensitic transformation develops by means of a nucleation and growth process. Both the parent phase and the martensite are observed to coexist at a particular temperature, where both phases are distinguished by a definite habit plane. ・・・, 1995}, school = {筑波大学, University of Tsukuba}, title = {Crystallography and ageing effect associated with thermoelastic martensitic transformations}, year = {1996} }
