A. Simon et al., EFFECT OF THERMOMECHANICAL PATHS ON PHASE -TRANSFORMATION IN THE SOLID-STATE - METALLURGICAL AND MECHANICAL ASPECTS, Journal de physique. IV, 4(C3), 1994, pp. 199-213
When stresses are applied to a material in a metastable crystallograph
ic structure, different effects are observed. Phase transformation kin
etics is affected, a transformation plasticity deformation occurs, and
transformation mechanisms can be modified. These effects are reviewed
for several phase transformations which occur in steels, and differen
t thermomechanical paths. The interactions between stress and phase tr
ansformations are specially analysed for the martensitic transformatio
n of ferrous alloys.
