Temperature Distribution during the Martensite Plate Formation

Abstract
With the object of obtaining some basis for the thermodynamical consideration of the martensite formation, the temperature distribution during the transformation has been calculated using Bunshah and Mehl's data for the speed of propagation of the transformation front. From the results of calculation it is concluded that (1) the nucleation may be treated as isothermal and that (2) the growth may also be treated in the same way if the propagation of the transformation is steady, but the treatment must be nearly adiabatic if the propagation is intermittent and its unit is large.
