Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The brittleness is affected not only by the grain size of the original austenite but also by the number of twins in the austenitic structure.

  2. 2.

    The tendency to premature fracture is directly proportional to the average linear grain size and inversely proportional to the relative number of twins in the original austenite, which agrees with the theory of dynamic effects during the martensitic transformation.
