Martensite : A Supersaturated interstitial solid solution of carbon in Alpha iron.
Marten a solid carbon interstitial solution in iron.
It is a steel metastable phase that results from austenite's transformation at temperature below 320 °C.
A body-centered tetragonal lattice characterizes martensite, an interstitial super saturated solution of carbon in iron.
It is extremely hard and brittle with a carbon concentration of up to 2%.
Its structure is acicular or needle-like and it is the result of rapid cooling (quenching).
The degree of martensitic transformation-achieved hardness is closely related to the rate of cooling and the percentage of carbon in steel.
So, Martensite is an interstitial supersaturated solid carbon solution in alpha iron.
