It is demonstrated that the surface relief angle associated with martensite is 14.3°, in good agreement with the theoretical result deduced from the phenomenal theory of martensite crystallography (PTMC). However, the surface relief angle associated with bainite is 2.0°–3.2°, which disagrees with the PTMC result. This indicates that the transformation mechanism of bainite is different from that of martensite. The fine structures of the surface relief associated with martensite and bainite are also investigated. The surface relief of martensite is composed of the small parallel relief caused by small martensite plates, and that of bainite is composed of small cells induced by subunits in bainite.Read More
