MORPHOLOGY AND THERMAL FIELD OF THE MOVING INTERFACE As emphasized in the theoretical section, the connection between a single variant of martensite and the parent austenitic phase is provided by a twinned martensitic structure, which is able to satisfy the compatibility conditions both with the austenite (over the habit plane) and with the single variant.
Austempering is valuable because it is stronger and tougher than tempered martensitic structures obtained with conventional heat treatment of cast iron.
Extendo-Die hot work die steel, with a fully martensitic structure, has superior wear resistance and toughness when compared with H-13 tool steel, especially in large sections heavier than 3[inches] to 4[inches].
