Abstract
Experiments on powders of an Fe-Ni alloy have shown that the martensite trans-formation appears to start on heterogeneous nucleation sites. The nature of these sites is hypothesized and a mechanism for burst phenomenon in Fe-Ni alloys is set forth qualitatively on the basis of these heterogeneous nucleation sites.
