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.
Tensile strength of 1050 steel when tempered at 400 degrees then quenched?
I'm not sure if your referring to 400C or 400F.But, according to Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design, 8th edition by Budynas and Nisbett.The tensile strength of 1050 steel quenched and tempered at 400F (205C) is 1120 MPa (163 kpsi).The tensile strength of 1050 steel quenched and tempered at 425C (800F) is 1090 MPa (158 kpsi).
How carbon content affects microstructure microstructure constituents of steel explain wihe the aid of sketches?
Carbon content significantly influences the microstructure and constituents of steel. As carbon content increases, the formation of different phases occurs, including ferrite, pearlite, bainite, and martensite. Low-carbon steels typically have a microstructure dominated by ferrite and pearlite, while higher carbon steels can develop martensite, leading to increased hardness and strength. Sketches can illustrate these phases, with low-carbon steel showing a mix of ferrite and pearlite, and high-carbon steel displaying a predominance of martensite.
What are the applications of quench and tempered steel plates?
applications of quenched steel plates these are used to make dies for extrusion ,nozzles armour plates temperd steel bars they are used for deep drawing to form shapes and also to ships hulls , these are used where strength ductility are important
What is easier to weld carbon steel or cast iron?
any steel or alloy of iron and carbon having a carbon percentage of above 0.3% is difficult to weld. carbon steel can have maximum carbon percentage of about 2% and cast iron with carbon percentage between 2% to 4%. the welding of any iron alloy with carbon percentage above 0.3% becomes difficult because of the formation of the martensite in the welding areas, heat affected zone etc., the fusion welding process which is usually employed to weld carbon steel and cast iron takes the metal or alloy to their respective melting point (in this case about 1650 C) which is above the austenizing temperature of most steel and cast iron. when the weld is finished it undergoes a process similar to hardening. the nearby non heated parts of the welded material acts as the cold bath resulting in the hardening process which involves sudden cooling for the formation of martensite which is very brittle, any pressure applied will crack the weld immediately. hence before welding the nearby parts of the material to be welded is preheated so that they wont act as any cold bath. but any way cast irons are very difficult to weld than the steels. this is because of the fact that the martensite formed is as a result of trapped carbon atoms in the iron crystal making a distorted body centered tetragonal crystal structure(martensite). higher the percentage of carbon the martensite formation is even better. hence cast irons are especially difficult to weld. design engineers never suggest a welding process for cast iron. cast irons are welded only when there is no other choice but to weld it.

Why hardenibility is not so high in plain carbon steels?
To harden a steel, it is heated to the austenitic region and then quenched to martensite. The rate at which the steel is quenched must be rapid enough to form martensite and not other microstructures (namely bainite, pearlite, or ferrite), which are not as hard. The cooling rate is a function of composition. Adding alloying elements to steel maintains hardenability at slower cooling rates, essentially shifting the TTT diagram.

What are some uses for martensite?
hardness of martensite is greater than bionite and fine pearlite.
What metals that conduct electricity are brittle?
Carbon Steel - Martensite
What structure forms in hypoeutectoid steel after full hardening?
Martensite
What is trip steel?
TRIP steel is Transformation Induced Plasticity steel. It is a composite steel that consists of ferrite, bainite, martensite precipitants and restrained austenite. The austenite will transform into martensite when strained, thus increasing the strength of the steel. To stabilize the austenite you need to introduce alloy elements, usually Manganese.
What is qst steel bar?
quenched and self temperedsame as TMT bars
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
What is matensite structure?
Martensite is a hard crystalline structure that forms in steel when it is rapidly cooled, often during quenching. It is characterized by a high strength and hardness due to its unique atomic arrangement. Martensite is not as ductile as other steel structures like pearlite, making it favorable for applications requiring hardness and strength.
