Martensitic Transformation and Elastic Constants

Driving force for martensitic transformation in steels

recently determined LVl~ to be 111918 J mol-I at temperatures below 1000 K, and pointed out that their experimental data were free from various 'intercept effects' which had dogged earlier investigations. Similarly, for T<1000K, they deduced '\~s=51.44Jmol-IK-I. There seem to be no data on the variation of LVl~ or ,\~s as a function of x. However, Lobo and Geigerl found that LVll: and ,\S~S do ...

Complexion-mediated martensitic phase transformation in Titanium

The most efficient way to tune microstructures and mechanical properties of metallic alloys lies in designing and using athermal phase transformations. Examples are shape memory alloys and high strength steels, which together stand for 1,500 million tons annual production. In these materials, martensite formation and mechanical twinning are tuned via composition adjustment for realizing complex...

Computer Simulation of Martensitic Transformation Under Stress

This paper reports a computer simulation of martensitic transformation in both Cu-Zn-Al and Fe-Ni-C alloys by a 2-dimensional model . The influence of the imposed stress on the mechanical behaviour, the transformation kinetics, and the microstructure are illustrated for Cu-Zn-A1 alloy. The study of transformation kinetics shows the following features: (1) in case of stress-free transformation, ...
