  2. Martensite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martensite

    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]

  3. Hardening (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardening_(metallurgy)

    This phase is called martensite, and is extremely hard due to a combined effect of the distorted crystal structure and the extreme solid solution strengthening, both mechanisms of which resist slip dislocation. All hardening mechanisms introduce crystal lattice defects that act as barriers to dislocation slip.

  4. Lath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lath

    Sawn lath became popular after the introduction of the circular saw in the 19th century. Roof laths span across between the rafters and support the wood shingles. A lath or slat is a thin, narrow strip of straight-grained wood used under roof shingles or tiles, on lath and plaster walls and ceilings to hold plaster, and in lattice and trellis ...

  5. Maraging steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maraging_steel

    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 ...

  6. Tempering (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

    Tempering reduces the hardness in the martensite by transforming it into various forms of tempered martensite. Tempering is a heat treatment technique applied to ferrous alloys , such as steel or cast iron , to achieve greater toughness by decreasing the hardness of the alloy.

  7. Widmanstätten pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widmanstätten_pattern

    Opposite faces are parallel so, although an octahedron has 8 faces, there are only 4 sets of kamacite plates. Iron and nickel-iron form crystals with an external octahedral structure only very rarely, but these orientations are still plainly detectable crystallographically without the external habit.

  8. TRIP steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIP_steel

    TRIP steel are a class of high-strength steel alloys typically used in naval and marine applications and in the automotive industry. [1] TRIP stands for "Transformation induced plasticity," which implies a phase transformation in the material, typically when a stress is applied.

  9. Isothermal transformation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_transformation...

    However, greater undercooling by rapid quenching results in formation of martensite or bainite instead of pearlite. This is possible provided the cooling rate is such that the cooling curve intersects the martensite start temperature or the bainite start curve before intersecting the P s curve. The martensite transformation being a ...
