Using electron microscopy, the structure of the transition region between austenite and martensite in an austenitic-martensitic iron–chromium–nickel alloy is investigated following a local pulse heating of the martensite. It is found out that the martensite-austenite transition area has a complex structure consisting of a few regions with different phase compositions and degree of defect structure relaxation.
