Subject field(s)
  • Physics of Solids
DEF

The high-temperature, high-symmetry (cubic) crystal microstructure of shape-memory alloys that changes upon cooling into martensite by a process called "martensitic transformation."

OBS

martensite: The low-temperature, low-symmetry (tetragonal) crystal microstructure of shape-memory alloys.

OBS

martensitic transformation: A diffusionless solid-to-solid phase transition characterized by a rapid change of crystal structure, observed in metals, alloys, ceramics, and proteins.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique des solides
DEF

Structure cristallographique cubique très symétrique des alliages à mémoire de forme, stable à haute température, qui résulte de la transformation thermoélastique sans diffusion (transformation martensitique) de la martensite lors d'un chauffage.

OBS

martensite : Structure cristallographique tétragonale, stable à basse température.
