  2. Isothermal transformation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_transformation...

    Isothermal transformation diagrams (also known as time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagrams) are plots of temperature versus time (usually on a logarithmic scale). They are generated from percentage transformation-vs time measurements, and are useful for understanding the transformations of an alloy steel at elevated temperatures.

  3. TRIP steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIP_steel

    TRIP steel are a class of high-strength steel alloys typically used in naval and marine applications and in the automotive industry. [1] TRIP stands for "Transformation induced plasticity," which implies a phase transformation in the material, typically when a stress is applied.

  4. Phase-change material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-change_material

    Many natural building materials are hygroscopic, that is they can absorb (water condenses) and release water (water evaporates). The process is thus: Condensation (gas to liquid) ΔH<0; enthalpy decreases (exothermic process) gives off heat. Vaporization (liquid to gas) ΔH>0; enthalpy increases (endothermic process) absorbs heat (or cools).

  5. Genetic transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_transformation

    This process of the second bacterial cell taking up new genetic material is called transformation. In molecular biology and genetics, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings through the cell membrane(s).

  6. Strengthening mechanisms of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms...

    This allows for varying levels of strength. There are three basic types of transformation-hardened steels. These are dual-phase (DP), transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), and martensitic steels. The annealing process for dual -phase steels consists of first holding the steel in the alpha + gamma temperature region for a set period of time.

  7. Martensite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martensite

    Martensite has a lower density than austenite, so that the martensitic transformation results in a relative change of volume. [4] Of considerably greater importance than the volume change is the shear strain , which has a magnitude of about 0.26 and which determines the shape of the plates of martensite.

  8. Diffusionless transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusionless_transformation

    A diffusionless transformation, commonly known as displacive transformation, denotes solid-state alterations in crystal structures that do not hinge on the diffusion of atoms across extensive distances. Rather, these transformations manifest as a result of synchronized shifts in atomic positions, wherein atoms undergo displacements of distances ...

  9. Recrystallization (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recrystallization_(metallurgy)

    In materials science, recrystallization is a process by which deformed grains are replaced by a new set of defect-free grains that nucleate and grow until the original grains have been entirely consumed. Recrystallization is usually accompanied by a reduction in the strength and hardness of a material and a simultaneous increase in the ...
