Abstract: A Central Atom Model is introduced and the LFG and Hsu models are modified in order to evaluate the driving force for the martensitic transformation in Fe-Mn-C and Fe-Ni-C al- loys.The results show that the relationship between the driving force and the yield strength of austenite at Ms temperature,σ_(0.2)~γ/M_s,fits Hsu's formula;ΔG~=2.1σ_(0.2)~γ/M_s+907 J/mol.The M_s temperatures of Fe-Mn-C and Fe-Ni-C alloys are also calculated.The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental values.

Key words: Fe-Mn-C alloy, Fe-Ni-C alloy, martensitic transformation
