IT is generally accepted that the lattice parameter of retained austenite in quenched iron—carbon alloys increases continuously and linearly with the increase of carbon content. So far ...

The study reveals that plastic relaxation plays a crucial role in accommodating the transformation-induced deformations of martensite in the parent austenite phase. By systematically varying the ...

“These properties are due to reversible transformations between the austenite and martensite phases, which may be temperature-induced (shape-memory) or stress-induced (pseudoelasticity). As a result, ...
