M. Andersson et J. Agren, EFFECT OF PRESTRAINING AND TRAINING ON THE GAMMA-]EPSILON TRANSFORMATION IN FE-MN-SI ALLOYS, Journal de physique. IV, 5(C8), 1995, pp. 457-462
The effect of training and predeformation on the martensitic transform
ation is investigated. It is concluded that M(S) as a function of pred
eformation strain must have a maximum at around 3% strain. Prestrains
less than 5% will enhance the martensitic transformation whereas large
r prestrains depress it due to strain hardening of the gamma phase.
