These elements are grouped as austenite-forming, ferrite-forming, carbide-forming and nitride-forming elements. Austenite-forming elements The elements C, Ni and Mn are the most important ones in this group. Sufficiently large amounts of Ni or Mn render a steel austenitic even at room temperature.
During this transformation, in order for martensite to form, the temperature must past through Ms (martensite start), in which the martensite phase will start to nucleate, until Mf (Martensite finish). There are many factors that could cause austenite to be retained. The first one is the steelâs carbon concentration. As the concentration of carbon increases, both temperature of Ms and Mf will be lowered (i.e. lower than room temp).
