A three-dimensional phase-field approach to martensitic transformations that uses reaction pathways in place of a Landau potential is introduced and applied to a model of Fe3Ni. Pathway branching involves an unbounded set of variants through duplication and rotations by the rotation point groups of the austenite and martensite phases. Path properties, including potential energy and elastic tensors, are calibrated by molecular statics. Acoustic waves are dealt with via a splitting technique between elastic and dissipative behaviors in a large-deformation framework. The sole free parameter of the model is the damping coefficient associated to transformations, tuned by comparisons with molecular dynamics simulations. Good quantitative agreement is then obtained between both methods.

This work investigated the CrNiMo stainless steel using laser selective melting (SLM) technology and explored the effect of the tempering temperature on the microstructure and properties. After the tempering treatment, the quenched martensite transformed from a metastable to steady state, and residual austenite was formed. The results indicated that the elongation of the transverse specimen showed an upward trend as the tempering temperature increased, while the elongation of the longitudinal specimen first increased and then decreased.

The shift fork shaft is a key component in transmissions, connecting the shift fork in order to adjust the gear engagement. This study investigates the effects of different welding sequences on deformation and residual stress during plasma welding of the shift fork shaft. A temperature-displacement coupled finite element method, using ABAQUS simulation software and a double ellipsoid heat source model, was employed for the numerical analysis.

NiMnZ (Z = In, Sn or Sb) undergo martensitic transformation with transformation temperature () scaling with the average valence electron per atom (/) ratio. However, the rate of increase of depends on the type of Z atom, with the slope of / curve increasing from Z = In to Z = Sb. Local structural distortions are believed to be the leading cause of martensitic transformation in these alloys.
