Internal Friction Effects in Tempered Martensite

Abstract

IT is generally accepted that the high temperature internal friction effects in cold-worked iron containing interstitial atoms and the corresponding effects in martensite are analogous. Both high temperature peaks appear when dislocations and interstitial atoms are present and it is therefore difficult to envisage separate models, although the evidence is mainly comparative and not in any way conclusive.
