mf temperature
Metals; Metallurgy
The temperature at which martensitic transformation is essentially complete during cooling after austenitization.
metastable
Metals; Metallurgy
Possessing a state of pseudo-equilibrium that has a free energy higher than that of the true equilibrium state but from which a system does not change spontaneously.
