when austenite change into martensite, change in the temprature occurs(cooling). Due to this thermal stress devlop between the core and surface . Surface try to expand and core try to compress the size due to this a change in 'c' parameter take place. So a=b but not=c . this is called BCT stracture.

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 are some uses for martensite?

hardness of martensite is greater than bionite and fine pearlite.


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.

What is lath martensite?

Low carbon content <0.6% results in lath structure as opposed to plate or needle structure for high carbon content >0.6%


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.


What happens to austenite during quenching?

During quenching, austenite transforms into martensite through a rapid cooling process. This transformation involves the carbon atoms being trapped within the crystal lattice structure of the martensite, resulting in a hard and brittle microstructure.
