Steels 2022: martensite,  Lecture 1 of 11
Channel: bhadeshia123
Date: 31/01/2022

The characteristics of martensite in steels, are explored in some depth, beginning with a scheme that quantitatively defines the temperature and driving force domains where reconstructive and displacive transformations are expected.  The martensite-start temperature, the plate shape, observation of the shape deformation, the consequences of the shape deformation, the irrational habit plane, the irrational orientation relationship, the athermal and isothermal transformation behaviours etc. It ends with some difficulties, that are resolved in the lecture that follows.

This series of lectures is organised by Professor Fabio Miani of the University of Udine in Italy.
