Abstract
The martensitic transformation is a special form of phase transformation that is not associated with the conventional temperature-dependent parameters: the number of centers and the crystal growth rate. The internal stresses are important for this transformation. How can we define the martensitic transformation? Possibly as follows: “The martensitic transformation is a diffusionless phase transformation that is induced by the stresses.” The stream of studies devoted to the martensitic transformation is not abating, and each author often has his own point of view. But they all contribute very little to clarification of the nature of this phenomenon and, unfortunately, even less to their use in practice; for example, for regulation of the kinetics of the transformation. We shall present two articles that are devoted to the profound causes and subtle characteristics of the martensitic transformation.
