Abstract
IT is generally accepted that the lattice parameter of retained austenite in quenched iron—carbon alloys increases continuously and linearly with the increase of carbon content. So far, however, the presence of retained austenite has only been recognized when the iron—carbon alloy contains more than 0·6 per cent of carbon1.
