Kinetics of the martensitic f. c. c. -->. h. c. p. transformation in Co-Cr-Mo alloy powders

Journal Article · · Acta Metall.; (United States)

The kinetics of isothermal martensitic nucleation in Co-Cr-Mo alloy powders is monitored. It is shown that a linear relation exists between the activation energy for martensite formation and the chemical free energy for the f.c.c...-->..h.c.p. transition. The nucleation kinetics is governed by the thermally activated motion of partial dislocations and the interaction between the Shockley partials and short range obstacles (stacking faults intersections and solute clusters).
