  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. 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 ...

  4. Martensitic stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martensitic_stainless_steel

    Martensitic stainless alloys are hardenable by heat treatment, specifically by quenching and stress relieving, or by quenching and tempering (referred to as QT). [9] [10] The alloy composition, and the high cooling rate of quenching enable the formation of martensite. Untempered martensite is low in toughness and therefore brittle.Tempered ...

  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. Bainite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bainite

    Bainite is a plate-like microstructure that forms in steels at temperatures of 125–550 °C (depending on alloy content). [1] First described by E. S. Davenport and Edgar Bain, [2] [3] it is one of the products that may form when austenite (the face-centered cubic crystal structure of iron) is cooled past a temperature where it is no longer thermodynamically stable with respect to ferrite ...

  8. Talk:Martensite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Martensite

    My textbook offers a completely different definition of martensite: "When a new phase in any (sic) material is produced by a displacive transformation it is always referred to as 'martensite'. Displacive transformations are often called 'martensitic' transformations as a result."(Ashby, Michael F. (1992) [1986].

  9. Wall stud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_stud

    Wall studs are framing components in timber or steel-framed walls, that run between the top and bottom plates.It is a fundamental element in frame building. The majority non-masonry buildings rely on wall studs, with wood being the most common and least-expensive material used for studs.
