relative arrangement. An example of such a phenomenon is the martensitic transformation, a notable occurrence observed in the context of steel materials

stress-induced martensitic transformation, which involves an energy barrier that must be overcome by absorbing energy. Martensitic transformations are diffusionless

response to an applied stress, caused by a phase transformation between the austenitic and martensitic phases of a crystal. It is exhibited in shape-memory

temperatures. Martensite has a lower density than austenite, so that the martensitic transformation results in a relative change of volume. Of considerably greater

elastic stress causes a martensitic transformation, initially defined by Richman and Bolling. Below Msσ, martensitic transformation is classified as stress

Phase transformation crystallography describes the orientation relationship and interface orientation after a phase transformation (such as martensitic transformation

temperature-induced phase transformation reverses deformation, as shown in the previous hysteresis curve. Typically the martensitic phase is monoclinic or

induction of a martensitic-type phase transformation on a polished surface. Spangold undergoes a martensitic-type phase transformation when properly treated

martensitic transformation occurs as one of the many phase transformations in carbon steel and stands as a model for displacive phase transformations

technically incorrect.[citation needed] Hardening need not be due to martensitic transformation, but can also be accomplished by cold work at cryogenic temperatures
