In this study, the ausformed martensite and marformed martensite obtained from austenite with various deformation degrees in Fe-31% Ni-0.2%C alloy were transformed to revesed austenite at $510^{\circ}C$ by cyclic reverse martensite transformation. The effect of prior deformation, the rapid heating rate of reversion and number of cyclic transformation on the microstructure, mechanical properties of reversed austenite were investigated. The reverse austenite transformation is accomplised by the mechanism of shear type transformation. The structure of reversed austenite formed from ausformed martensite and marformed martensite with high deformation degrees is a fine structure of nearly equiaed grain containg a high density of dislocation tangles and was largely affected by the prior deformation applied before reversal transformation. The strength of reversed austenite is more increased with of cyclic transformation especially it is strength at the first cyclic transformation. The yield stress of revesed austenite of ausformed martensite is lower than that of marformed martensite.

In order to compare mechanical properties of ausformed martensite with those of marformed martemsite in Fe-30%Ni-0.1%C alloy and to investigate their strengthening mechanisms, ausformed martensite and marformed martensite were prepared by ausforming treatment and marforming treatment respectively. The microstructures were observed and the quantities of retained austenite, hardness, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation were examined. The strength of ausformed martensite was mainly increased because of the lattice defects inherited from austenite. The ductility of ausformed martensite was constant at the rate of 7-8% by ductile matrix formation of the retained austenite in spite of the increase in strength. The strength of marformed martensite was increased by the increment in dislocation density, the crossing of transformation twin with deformation twin and the mutual crossing of deformation twin. The ductility of mar formed martensite was slightly lower than that of ausformed martensite, but the strength of mar formed martensite was prominently higher.

The reverse transformation behavior was investigated by DSC analysis in thermomechanically processed Fe-30%Ni-0.35%C alloy. Upon increasing the heating rate from $5^{\circ}C/min$ to $80^{\circ}C/min$, the As point of the ausformed martensite was not changed and the As point of the marformed martensite decreased at reverse transformation. The Af points showed to be constant with increasing the heating rate both in the ausformed martensite and in the marformed martensite. With increasing the deformation degree, the As points of the ausformed martensite and the marformed martensite increased and the Af points appeared to be constant, structures. The enthalpy changes increased with increasing the heating rate, but decreased with increasing the deformation degree in both structures.

The effect of thermomechanical treatment on thermal expantion and melting point of Fe-30%Ni-0.35%C alloy was investigated. The dimention changes of the ausformed martensite and the marformed martensite were decreased with increasing deformation degree in the range of $25{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ prior to reverse transformation but became larger in the range of $500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ after the reverse transformation. The dimension change and the thermal expansion coefficient were reduced in the order of the deformed austenite, the marformed martensite and the ausformed martensite in the range of $25{\sim}800^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the ausforming treatment is more effective than the marforming treatment in improving the heat-resistance. The melting points of the deformed austenite, the ausformed martensite and the marformed martensite were lowered as either the heating rate or the degree of deformation was increased.

The effect of pressure on the phase transformation in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy and pure metals was investigated by using PDSC(pressure differential scanning calorimeter). As the pressure increased from 1 atm to 60 atm, the $A_s$points of the ausformed martensite and the marformed martensite in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy were lowered about $2~4^{\circ}C$ at reverse transformation. This is why the volume change came down at phase transition(from martensite to autenite). As the pressure increased from 1 atm to 60 atm, $A_f$ points were constant or slightly increased. This is due to the promotion of carbide precipitation with increasing pressure. The enthalpy change of the ausformed martensite in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy was increased by 10~14J/g. The melting points of the pure metals, Se, Sn, Pb, Zn and Te were slightly increased with increasing pressure. The enthalpy changes of the pure metals at melting were little changed or slightly increased with increasing pressure.
