| 1. | The " aus " portion of the name refers to austenite.
|
| 2. | Diffusional transformations like austenite transforming to a cementite and free energy.
|
| 3. | Furthermore, it strengthens the austenite by solid-solution hardening.
|
| 4. | The austenite allotrope exists at room temperature in stainless steel.
|
| 5. | The transition from martensite to austenite produces force and deformation.
|
| 6. | There is no thermal activation energy for the transformation from austenite to martensite.
|
| 7. | Austenite, for example, usually only exists above the upper critical temperature.
|
| 8. | Austenite is only stable above in bulk metal form.
|
| 9. | Austenite is slightly undercooled when quenched below Eutectoid temperature.
|
| 10. | The strength of the martensite is reduced as the amount of retained austenite grows.
