For two reasons: 1. martensite is bct structure which prevent the movement of dislocations. 2. martensite has higher carbon concentraton.
Martensite
To be brittle is to be hard and breakable. An example sentence would be: The older she got, the more brittle her bones seemed to be.
Martensite
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.
Cast iron is very brittle in its basic form, with yield point very close to fracture point. However, glass is the most brittle, having no yield point - it is perfectly elastic before failure
Carbon Steel - Martensite
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.
hard and brittle so YES
hard and brittle so YES
to avoid the high internal stresses caused by quenching and to get tempered Martensite that is less brittle

Martensite
Tempering. Removes carbon atoms, making the material softer and more ductile at the expense of hardness.
While carbon can be very hard, it is not necessarily brittle. The properties of carbon can vary depending on its structure and form. For example, diamond is a form of carbon that is both extremely hard and strong, while graphite is another form of carbon that is soft and brittle.
Mild Steel is not hard and brittle. Once Mild Steel is subjected to heating and then allowed to cool, it forms different compounds of steel having different properties. This depends upon 1. The heating temperature 2. The time allowed for cooling. When MS is heated to high temperatures so that it appears red hot and then suddenly cooled down to ambient temperature, it forms a compound called Martensite, which is hard. This is because there is more carbon in Martensite then in Mild Steel. This process of altering properties of compounds by heat is called heat treatment.
hard
hardness of martensite is greater than bionite and fine pearlite.
