Retained austenite

Back to Case study
Retained austenite Lesson/Tutorial  Austenite that does not transform to martensite upon quenching is called retained austenite.  This retained austenite occurs when the steel is not quenched to  a temperature low enough to form 100% martensite.  This retained austenite can cause loss of strength and increased brittleness.
