Abstract: Martensites distributed along the austenite grain boundaries and twin boundaries have been examined in Fe-C,Fe-Ni-C and Fe-Cr-Mn-Mo-C alloys.The martensites may nucleate preferentially and grow easily along these boundaries.In the mixed martensites,the preferentially formed one is plate or butterfly martensite

Key words: martensite nucleation, martensite growth, martensite morphology, grain boundary, twin boundary, plate martensite
