A Localized Soft Mode Theory for Martensitic Transformations

TL;DR: In this paper, Harmonic terms of the elastic free energy of a solid are used to locate a surface of instability or "strain spinodal" and these regions are proposed as the primary nucleation sites for martensitic transformations.

Precipitate Structure in a Cu-Ni-Si Alloy

TL;DR: In this paper, the precipitates responsible for the age-hardening effect in dilute Cu-Ni-Si alloys based on Cu2NiSi have been studied using transmission electron microscopy.

Thermodynamics of the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation in constrained zirconia microcrystals

TL;DR: In this paper, the tetragonal to monoclinic transformation (t→m) occurring in ZrO2 precipitates in a Ca-PSZ alloy and particles in Al2O3-ZrO 2 composites was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview no. 45: On the nucleation of the martensitic transformation in zirconia (ZrO2)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the kinetics of the martensitic tetragonal (t )→monoclinic (m ) transformation in ZrO 2 and showed that nucleation is always stress-assisted, even when the transformation occurs spontaneously.

The theory of transformations in metals and alloys

J.W. Christian, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general introduction to the theory of transformation kinetics of real metals, including the formation and evolution of martensitic transformations, as well as a theory of dislocations.

The martensitig transformation of iron precipitates in a copper matrix

K.E Easterling, +1 more

TL;DR: The martensitic Feγ→α transformation of γ-Fe precipitates in a copper-1.95% iron-alloy is followed by thin foil electron microscopy and magnetic measurements as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the nucleation of martensite in iron precipitates

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the critical step to bring about the transformation is for the precipitate to be cut by the moving matrix dislocation, and on this basis it is shown that there is a critical size of martensite nucleus which is only a few atoms in thickness.

The martensite transformation in small (0.1−0.3 mm) iron-nickel single crystals☆

R Huizing, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1966 - 
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that it is impossible to transform a small austenite iron-nickel single crystal into a single or twinned martensite crystal and that the amount of retained Austenite present after transformation is very small compared with the quantity that remains in a bulk single crystal with the same nickel content.
