Q

Why are martensitic properties the way they are?

A

Effectiveness of the interstitial carbon atoms in hindering dislocation and the relatively few slip systems

17
Q

What is intergranular crack propogation?

A

Fracture path is along the boundaries of the austenite phase

18
Q

What does polymorphic mean?

A

Two crystal structures, and the shape memory effect involves phase transformations between them
