Martensitic transformation in a BCC matrix in duplex Fe-Mn-Al-C alloys had been studied by several researchers. However, morphology and structure of martensite variants in Fe-Mn-Al-C alloy have not been studied intensively yet. Especially, application of high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) in this area of study is rare so far. In this paper, the authors present a HREM study of group variants of martensite in an Fe-Mn-Al-C alloy. The HRTEM could reveal local structures between variants in nanometer scale which may not be detectable by conventional TEM technique.
