Abstract: The M_s temperature and the yield strength of austenite at M_s temperature have been meas- ured for five Fe-Mn-C alloys.The experimental results show that there is a linear relation- ship between them.The effect of the solution strengthening of austenite on martensite morphology is also studied.It is pointed out that there is a characteristic temperature T_c in austenite strengthening.Martensite morphology is mainly of dislocated laths when M_s>T_c, and is mainly of twinned plates when M_s

Key words: Fe-Mn-C alloy, austenite strengthening, martensitic transformation
