Diffusionless transformation? Martensite can form at very low temperatures. Martensite can grow very rapidly. No composition change during transformation.
Shape of martensite ?
Irrational: why?
Orientation relationships: irrational
athermal transformation
Creation of a bi-crystal cut and rotate by angle q about axis normal to diagram q
Glissile interface
Glissile interface cannot contain more than one set of dislocations. Martensitic transformation only possible if the deformation which changes the parent into the product leaves one line undistorted and unrotated, i.e. an invariant-line. Deformation is an invariant-line strain.
