Abstract

Simple mathematical expressions for the lattice deformation process of martensite transformation of steel are developed to generally treat so far proposed deformation mechanisms, such as the uniform 19 deg 28 min shear, half dislocation motion, and shuffling of (111)f planes in\([11\bar 2]_f \) direction, and the concerned lattice structures,i.e. fee, hep, bcc, and their modifications. All possible transformation paths are examined by this method, and four paths including a new proposal by the author are considered the reasonable ones as far as the theory is concerned. Four important experimental facts,i.e. the lattice parameter anomalies at low temperatures, octahedral and tetrahedral interstitial carbon occupancy, intermediate bcc modification structure with six layers, and premartensitic phenomena in steel, are introduced and compared with the above transformation mechanisms, and the best interpretations of them are given by the newly proposed lattice deformation mechanism through the intermediate six layer structure.
