Summary

This materials science study revisits the mechanical behavior of as-quenched low-alloy martensitic steels, developing a model to explain their high strain-hardening and Bauschinger effect based on a composite view of the microstructure. This metallurgy research has no connection to microplastics or environmental health.

Though as-quenched martensite exhibits a low uniform elongation in tension, it is highlighted that this phase has a very high strain-hardening which increases with carbon content and a large Bauschinger effect. Because usual dislocation storage can not explain reasonably this particular behaviour, an approach based on a continuum composite view of martensite (CCA) is developed suitable to capture all the experimental features.

Quantification and effects of microstructural dispersions on the mechanical behaviour of low carbon martensite

Researchers examined the mechanical behaviour of low-carbon martensitic steel, demonstrating that the sequential nature of the martensitic phase transformation from the Ms temperature to ambient temperature produces microstructural heterogeneities rather than a uniform phase. This reinterpretation — viewing lath martensite as a multiphase aggregate — helps explain paradoxical properties such as low microplasticity yield and strong initial hardening.

Transformation Kinetics, Microplasticity and Aging of Martensite in FE-31 Ni.

This materials science study examines microplastic behavior in iron-nickel martensite alloys, finding that stress-induced phase transformation produces unusually large microplastic strains. The term 'microplasticity' refers to small-scale plastic deformation in metals and is not related to environmental plastic pollution.
