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. [5]
The distinction between austenitic and martensitic steels is subtle in nature. [4] Austenite exhibits a face-centered cubic (FCC) unit cell, whereas the transformation to martensite entails a distortion of this cube into a body-centered tetragonal shape (BCT).
At high cooling rates, the material will transform from austenite to martensite which is much harder and will generate cracks at much lower strains. The volume change (martensite is less dense than austenite) [9] can generate stresses as well. The difference in strain rates of the inner and outer portion of the part may cause cracks to develop ...
Austenitic stainless steel is one of the five classes of stainless steel as defined by crystalline structure (along with ferritic, martensitic, duplex and precipitation hardened). [1] Its primary crystalline structure is austenite (face-centered cubic). Such steels are not hardenable by heat treatment and are essentially non-magnetic. [2]
Martensite has a lower density (it expands during the cooling) than does austenite, so that the transformation between them results in a change of volume. In this case, expansion occurs. Internal stresses from this expansion generally take the form of compression on the crystals of martensite and tension on the remaining ferrite, with a fair ...
SMAs can exist in two different phases, with three different crystal structures (i.e. twinned martensite, detwinned martensite, and austenite) and six possible transformations. [5] [6] The thermo-mechanic behavior of the SMAs is governed by a phase transformation between the austenite and the martensite.
Further excessive heat-treatment brings about the decomposition of the martensite and reversion to austenite. Newer compositions of maraging steels have revealed other intermetallic stoichiometries and crystallographic relationships with the parent martensite, including rhombohedral and massive complex Ni 50 (X,Y,Z) 50 (Ni 50 M 50 in simplified ...
