Complete theory for martensitic transformations
Unlock the intricate world of martensitic transformations with in-depth insights into the Bain strain, lattice-invariant deformation, transformation twins, athermal transformation, and more. Dive into the fundamentals of martensite and austenite structures, encompassing observations of macroscopic shapes, correct structures, and the suppression of martensitic transformations by rapid cooling. Unravel the complexities surrounding martensite start temperature and the contributions of influential figures in the field.

Texture prediction
No method calculates INTENSITY, only POSITIONS of poles
TRIP steels that are fully austenitic are expensive How do we produce cheap austenite?
TRIP-Assisted Steels austenite is expensive carbon can be cheap too much carbon is bad Jae Hoon Jang, In Gee Kim
Cracking of brittle martensite tensile stress in fibre enclosed by matrix
plates become finer than stress-transfer length, and hence do not crack
Austenite grain size effects plates stopped by austenite grain boundary total volume transformed reduced when grain size small detection limit leads to reduction in start temperature
