Abstract
Structural changes in alpha-martensite forming by the action of a magnetic field have been investigated for high-nickel steel which remains in an austenitic state even when subjected to very low temperatures. It is shown that the thin plate martensite produced by exposure to a pulsed magnetic field becomes lenticular in the course of subsequent isothermal soaking without application of a magnetic field. Electron microscope studies of the structure of martensite plates at different stages of their formation are also presented.
