Abstract
In this work the effect of the stacking fault energy (SFE) in manganese and chromium-manganese austenite on the crystallographic mechanism of martensite nucleus formation is considered. This mechanism is determined by the SFE of alloyed austenite as determined by its structural and thermodynamical parameters.
