A mathematical framework is proposed to predict the features of the (5 5 7) lath transformation in low-carbon steels based on energy minimisation. This theory generates a one-parameter family of possible habit plane normals and a selection mechanism then identifies the (5 5 7) normals as those arising from a deformation with small atomic movement and maximal compatibility. While the calculation...

Martensitic transfromation in TiNi alloys of the near-equiatomic composition has been studied by utilizing electron microscopy and diffraction under various thermal treatments. It has been observed that the martensitic transformation is associated with the variants of the product. Two orientations of the martensitic phase were observed as adjacent regions in quenched alloys. These orientations ...

The martensite steels produced by quenching and tempering has been used for machine structural use. Martensite in ferrite-martensite dual-phase steels (hereinafter, DP steels) also has important roll in strengthening of the automobile steel sheets. Therefore the importance of analyzing the microstructure and their mechanical properties of the martensite has been increased year by year. Many res...

Deformation and work hardening behavior of Fe-17Mn-0.02C steel containing ε-martensite within the austenite matrix have been investigated by means of in situ microstructural observations and x-ray diffraction analysis. During deformation, the steel shows the deformation-induced transformation of austenite → ε-martensite → α'-martensite as well as the direct transformation of austenite → α'-mart...

In the present research, damage mechanisms during room temperature uniaxial tensile testing of two different modern high strength dual phase steels,DP780 and DP980, were studied. Detailed microstructural characterization of the strained and sectioned samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that interface decohesion, especially at the triple junctions of...

Deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of NiTiCu shape memory alloy (SMA), which possesses martensite phase at room temperature, were investigated based on a uniaxial compression test at the temperatures of 700~1000 ◦C and at the strain rates of 0.0005~0.5 s−1. The constitutive equation of NiTiCu SMA was established in order to describe the flow characteristic of NiTiCu SMA, which is...
