Is martensite formed when a steel is quenched?
Martensite transformation begins when austenite is cooled below a certain critical temperature, called the matrensite start temperature. As we go below the tmartensite start temperature, more and more martensite forms and complete transformation occurs only at a temperature called martensire finish temp. Formation of martensite require that the austenite phase must be cooled rapidly.
What are some uses for martensite?
hardness of martensite is greater than bionite and fine pearlite.
What is a triple point line in thermodynamics?
It is the state at which all the three phases i.e.,solid phase,liquid phase and vapor phase are in equilibrium.
A separation process may be classified as rate governed or phase equilibrium based what do these have in common and what are their differences?

Hardness of martensite as a function of carbon content?
60*sqrt(C)+20 HRC

Why pearlite makes steel harder?
Because Martensite transformation is almost instantaneous, the Martensite has the identical composition of the parent phase. Formation of Martensite involves a transformation from a body-centered cubic structure to body-centered tetragonal structure. The large increase in volume that results creates a highly stressed structure.
Which is the harder among them Cementite or Martensite?
Martensite
Why phase diagram is called equilibrium diagram?
A phase diagram of the equilibrium relationship between temperature, pressure, and composition in any system.
An equilibrium in which all the components are gases is a homogenous equilibrium?
yes as it is in same phase
What is the difference between phase equilibrium and metastability?
For the condition of phase equilibrium the free energy is a minimum, the system is completely stable meaning that over time the phase characteristics are constant. For metastability, the system is not at equilibrium, and there are very slight (and often imperceptible) changes of the phase characteristics with time.
What are some uses for martensite?
hardness of martensite is greater than bionite and fine pearlite.
What has the author John Ettore Ricci written?
John Ettore Ricci has written: 'The phase rule and heterogeneous equilibrium' -- subject(s): Phase rule and equilibrium
Why martensite is so hard and brittle?
For two reasons: 1. martensite is bct structure which prevent the movement of dislocations. 2. martensite has higher carbon concentraton.
What has the author Alec H Reader written?
Alec H. Reader has written: 'A study of copper-based alloys that undergo the thermoelastic martensite phase transition'
What is the non equilibrium model?
The non equilibrium model says that communities are constantly changing after being affected by disturbances.
What is a triple point line in thermodynamics?
It is the state at which all the three phases i.e.,solid phase,liquid phase and vapor phase are in equilibrium.
