A diffusionless solid-to-solid phase transition characterized by a rapid change of crystal structure, observed in metals, alloys, ceramics, and proteins. 4, record 1, English, - martensitic%20transformation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Shape-memory alloys undergo a [martensitic] phase transition in their crystal structure when cooled from their stronger, higher temperature form in the austenitic phase to their weaker, lower temperature form in the martensitic phase. 5, record 1, English, - martensitic%20transformation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
In shape-memory alloys ... the microstructures formed upon cooling are easily manipulated by loads and disappear upon reheating, and the transformation is [almost perfectly] reversible [(and often termed "thermoelastic.")] 4, record 1, English, - martensitic%20transformation

[Les] propriétés [des alliages à mémoire de forme] sont contrôlées par une transformation structurale [sans diffusion et] réversible du premier ordre, la transformation martensitique thermoélastique entre l'austénite (phase haute température) et la martensite (phase basse température). [...] La transformation martensitique est induite aussi bien par un changement de température que sous l'effet d'une contrainte, que celle-ci soit externe ou interne. 2, record 1, French, - transformation%20martensitique
