X-Ray Line-Breadths of Martensite

Abstract

The main problem of my investigations was the influence of very low temperatures on the physical properties of martensite and austenite. Temperatures as low as the temperature of liquid helium have not previously been used for the treatment of these constituents of carbon steel. The full report and experimental results will be published in due course.
