n. A solid solution of iron and up to one percent of carbon, the chief constituent of hardened carbon tool steels.

n. A solid solution of carbon in iron; the chief constituent of steel

n. Any crystal structure formed by a martensitic transition

n. A very hard carbide of iron, approximately of the composition Fe24C, formed in the recalescenee of steel at 850° C. in cooling from a temperature of 1,000° C. or over. It remains unchanged if the metal is then suddenly cooled, as by plunging it into cold water, but on slow cooling is decomposed into iron and the carbide Fe3C. On the other hand, it appears that this latter compound, known as cementite, may split into martensite and carbon in the form of graphite.

n. a solid solution of carbon in alpha-iron that is formed when steel is cooled so rapidly that the change from austenite to pearlite is suppressed; responsible for the hardness of quenched steel

"The engineers are running programs that show how adding tiny amounts of alloys to ferrite and martensite—crystalline structures of iron—during the steelmaking process changes the steel's strength, as well as its ability to be shaped into different parts."
