austenite-martensite steel
1Austenite — (or gamma phase iron) is a metallic non magnetic solid solution of iron and an alloying element. In plain carbon steel, austenite exists above the critical eutectoid temperature of 1000 K (about 727 °C); other alloys of steel have different… …

4steel — steellike, adj. /steel/, n. 1. any of various modified forms of iron, artificially produced, having a carbon content less than that of pig iron and more than that of wrought iron, and having qualities of hardness, elasticity, and strength varying …
5martensite — a metastable iron phase supersaturated in carbon that is the product of a diffusionless (athermal) transformation from austenite. Very rapid cooling (quenching) of steel (at about 1,000(C per minute) produces a new microstructure, martensite. It… …
