Some Observations on the Formation of Surface Martensite in 304L Stainless Steel

Abstract

A surface martensite was observed in a 304L stainless steel. The morphological details as influenced by polishing techniques and thermal quenching are discussed. The quantity of martensite was found to be greatly amplified by the strain energy produced by mechanical polishing.
