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. |
