TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed to describe the endpoint of carbon partitioning between quenched martensite and retained austenite, in the absence of carbide formation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel concept for the heat treatment of martensite, different to customary quenching and tempering, is described, which can be used to generate microstructures with martensites/austenite combinations giving attractive properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of various techniques to fabricate ultrafine grained bcc steels, the corresponding microstructures, and the resulting spectrum of mechanical properties is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for carbon partitioning between supersaturated ferrite and retained austenite is presented, where the process involves quenching the remaining austenites below the martensite-start temperature, followed by a partitioning treatment to enrich the remaining Austenite with carbon.

TL;DR: In this paper, a single X-ray diffraction scan was used for identifying and evaluating deformation-induced transformation in 304 austenitic stainless steel and the initial stage of transformation in this steel was most likely dominated by e−martensite formation.
