THE STRENGTHENING MECHANISM OF FERROUS MARTENSITE

Abstract

A model is proposed to account for the observed strengthening behavior of ferrous martensites. The model is based upon the inheritance of carbon rich regions by the martensite which were present in the austenite prior to transformation. These carbon rich regions strengthen the martensite in a manner analogous to the strengthening effect due to a finely dispersed second phase.
