The Volume Expansion Accompanying the Martensite Transformation in Iron-Carbon Alloys.
Abstract
A dilatometric investigation was conducted to determine the effect of carbon on the volume expansion accompanying the martensite transformation in iron-carbon alloys. It was found that the volume expansion at the (M sub s) temperature varies from 2.0% at .19 weight percent carbon to 3.1% at 1.01 percent carbon, largely due to the effect of carbon on lowering the temperature at which the transformation occurs. Also of importance is the solid solution effect of carbon on altering the lattice parameters of both the austenite and martensite phases at the (M sub s).
