Fe-Ni alloy nanoparticles were prepared by ERC (Evaporation and Rapid Condensation) method, and the crystal structure and the behavior of martensite for the nanosized alloy particles were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The relation between the rate of martensite transformation and the internal strain of austenite was discussed. The lattice spaces of austenite and martensite for the nanoparticles agreed with those of the bulk materials. The rate of martensite transformation from austenite and the internal strain of austenite was reduced with decreasing the average size of Fe-Ni nanoparticles. It was thought that the residual austenite in the Ni content range of 11∼l5at% was caused by the internal strain, and the residual martensite in the Ni content range of 32∼36at% had its origin in the high surface energy of nanoparticles.

The effect of deformation induced martensite transformation on the mechanical properties in austenitic stainless steel with high Mn was studied. ${\alpha}$'-martensite was formed by deformation in austenitic stainless steel with high Mn. Deformation induced ${\alpha}$'-martensite was formed with surface relief by cold rolling. With the increase of deformation degree, volume fraction of deformation induced martensite was increased rapidly in early stage of deformation and then, increased slowly. With the increase of deformation degree, hardness and tensile strength were rapidly increased with linear relations, while elongation was rapidly decreased and then slowly decreased. Hardness, tensile strengths and elongation were influenced strongly by deformation induced martensite.

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.

Effect of martensite on the mechanical properties of austempered ductile cast iron was investigated after obtained the martensite by subzero treatment. Retained austenite was transformed to martensite by subzero treatment, and with decreasing subzero treatment temperature, volume fraction of martensite was increased. With increasing of the volume fraction of martensite, tensile strength was increased and elongation was decreased, ratio of increasing of strength and decreasing of elongation was higher in case of specimens with lot's of Cu contents. With increasing of the volume fraction of martensite, hardness slowly increased until only about 5% and it rapidly increased in a straight proportion when it is above 5%, while impact value was rapidly decreased until about 7% but it had a little change when it is above 7%.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of cold working on the tensile strength of Fe-26Mn-4Co-2Al damping alloy. ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and ${\varepsilon}$-martensite were formed by cold working, and martensite was formed with the specific direction and surface relief. With the increasing degree of cold rolling, volume fraction of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite was increased, whereas the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite was decreased after rising to maximum value at specific lever of cold rolling. Tensile strength was linearly increased with an increasing of degree of cold rolling. Tensile strength was strongly affected to the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite formed by cold working, but the effect of volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite on the tensile strength was not observed.

The effect of grain size on the damping capacity of Fe-26Mn-2Al alloy studied in this paper has been investigated after changing the microstructure by cold rolling and changing grain size. Micro structures in Fe-26Mn-2Al at room temperature consist of a large quantity of austenite and a small quantity of ${\varepsilon}\;and\;{\alpha}'$ martensite. And ${\varepsilon}\;and\;{\alpha}'$ martensite was increased by increasing the degree of cold rolling. The content of deformation induced martensite was increased with increasing the degree of cold rolling. Damping capacity was linearly increased with increasing ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content, which suggests that stacking faults and ${\varepsilon}$ martensite variant boundaries are the principle damping sources. With increasing the grain size in Fe-26Mn-2Al alloy, the damping capacity was increased due to increasing the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite by decrement in stability of austenite phase. With decreasing the grain size, the content of deformation induced martensite was decreased and the damping capacity was decreased.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on the tensile properties of Fe-20Mn-12Cr-3Ni-3Si alloy with deformation induced martensite transformation. ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and ${\varepsilon}$-martensite, dislocation, stacking fault were formed, and grain size was refined by thermo-mechanical treatment. With the increasing cycle number of thermo-mechanical treatment, volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ and ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite, dislocation, stacking fault were increased, and grain size decreased. In 5-cycle number thermo-mechanical treated specimens, more than 10% of the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite and less than 3% of the volume fraction of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite were attained. Tensile strength was increased and elongation was decreased with the increasing cycle number of thermo-mechanical treatment. Tensile properties of thermo-mechanical treated alloy with deformation induced martensite transformation was affected to formation of martensite by thermo-mechanical treatment, but was large affected to increasing of dislocation and grain refining.

The effects of Fe and V content on the characteristics of $\beta$ to $\alpha$ phase transformation for Zr-0.8Sn alloys were studied by optical and transmission electron microscopy. With increasing V content, $\beta{\rightarrow}\alpha+\beta$ transformation temperature decreased, thus allowing the width of $\alpha$-lath to be fine air-cooled Zr-0.8Sn-xV alloys. The width of $\alpha$-lath, however, was slightly increased with Fe content. While the $\beta$ to $\alpha$ transformed microstructures of water-quenched Zr-0.8Sn, Zr-0.8Sn-0.1Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.2Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.4Fe, Zr-0.8Sn-0.1V and Zr-0.8Sn-0.2V were mainly slipped martensite, that of water-quenched Zr-0.8Sn-0.4V was predominantly twinned martensite. The transition of slipped martensite to twinned martensite in Zr-0.8Sn-Xv was thought to be due to the decrease of $M_S$ temperature.

For the advanced high strength steels (AHSS), high-manganese TWIP (twinning induced plasticity) steels exhibit high tensile strength (800-1000 MPa) and high elongation (50-60%). However, the TWIP steels need to be understood of delayed fracture following the cup drawing test. Among the factors to cause delayed fracture, i.e, martensite transformation, hydrogen embrittlement and residual stress, the effects of martensite transformation (${\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\varepsilon}$ or ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\alpha}^{\prime}$) were investigated on the delayed fracture phenomenon. Microstructural phase analysis was conducted for cold rolled (20, 60, 80% reduction ratio) steels and tensile deformed (20, 40, 60% strain) steels. For the Al-added TWIP steels, no martensite phase was found in the cold rolled and tensile deformed specimen. But, the TWIP steels with no Al addition indicated the martensite transformation. The cup drawing specimens showed the martensite transformation irrespective of the Al-addition to the TWIP steel. However, the TWIP steel with no Al exhibited the larger amount of martensite than the case of the TWIP steel with Al addition. For the reason, it was possible to conclude that the Al addition suppressed the martensite transformation in TWIP steels, therefore preventing the delayed fracture effectively. However, it was interesting to note that the mechanism of delayed fracture should be incorporated with hydrogen embrittlement and/or residual stress as well as the martensite transformation.

Transformation of austenite to martensite during cold rolling has been widely used to strengthen metastable austenitic stainless steel grades. Aging treatment of cold worked metastable austenitic stainless steels, including ${\alpha}'$-martensite phase, results in the further increase of strength, when aging is performed in $200^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$ temperature range. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of time and temperature on the stress-strain behavior of cold worked austenitic stainless steels. The amount of ${\alpha}'$-martensite during cold working and aging was examined by ferrite scope and X-ray diffraction (XRD). During aging at $450^{\circ}C$ for 1hr, tensile strength dramatically increased by 150MPa. Deformed metastable austenitic steels containing the "body-centered" ${\alpha}'$-martensite are strengthened by the diffusion of interstitial solute atoms during aging at low temperature.
