Abstract

The effect of austenite prestrain above theM d temperature on the structure and transformation kinetics of the martensitic transformation observed on cooling was determined for a series of Fe-Ni-Cr-C alloys. The alloys exhibited a shift in martensite morphology in the nondeformed state from twinned plate to lath while theM s temperature, carbon content, and austenite grain size were constant. The transformation behavior was observed over the temperature range 0 to -196°C as a function of tensile prestrains performed above theM d temperature. A range of prestrains from 5 pct to 45 pct was investigated. It is concluded that the response of a given alloy to austenite prestrain above theM d temperature can be correlated with the morphology of the martensite observed in the nondeformed, as-quenched state. For the range of prestrains investigated, the transformation of austenite to lath martensite is much more susceptible to stabilization by austenite prestrain above theM d temperature than is the transformation of austenite to plate martensite.
