The martensitic transformation in iron-nickel alloys: a molecular dynamics study

摘要

Many metals and metallic alloys show martensitic transformations at temperatures below the melting point. Martensitic transformations are structural phase changes of first order which belong to the broader calss of diffusionless solid-state phase transformations. These are structural transformations of the crystal lattice, which do not involve long-range atomic movements. A recent review of the properties and the classification of diffusionless transformations has been given by Delaye~1.
