Question

This transition begins at a namesake “start” temperature and is done at a colder, “finish” temperature. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this phase transition, usually triggered by rapid quenching, in which a material with a face-centered cubic structure is converted to a body-centered tetragonal structure. It is named for the very strong but brittle phase it produces.
ANSWER: martensitic transformation [or the martensite transformation; accept answers describing the transition from austenite to martensite]
[10e] The transformation from austenite to martensite is most well-characterized in this material. Chromium is often added to make this material resistant to corrosion.
ANSWER: steel [accept stainless steel]
[10h] The martensitic transformation is described by this adjective, meaning it occurs due to a coordinated displacement, without any long-range motion of individual atoms.
ANSWER: diffusionless [accept answers indicating there is no diffusion or it occurs without diffusion; prompt on displacive]
