The term "[[martensite]]" was originally coined to describe the rigid and finely dispersed constituent that emerges in steels subjected to rapid cooling. Subsequent investigations revealed that materials beyond ferrous alloys, such as non-ferrous alloys and ceramics, can also undergo diffusionless transformations. Consequently, the term "martensite" has evolved to encompass the resultant product arising from such transformations in a more inclusive manner. In the context of diffusionless transformations, a cooperative and homogeneous movement occurs, leading to a modification in the crystal structure during a [[Phase transition|phase change]]. These movements are small, usually less than their interatomic distances, and the neighbors of an atom remain close.
The systematic movement of large numbers of atoms led some to refer to them as ''military'' transformations, in contrast to ''civilian'' diffusion-based phase changes, initially by [[
The most commonly encountered transformation of this type is the [[Adolf Martens|martensitic]] transformation, which is probably the most studied but is only one subset of non-diffusional transformations. The martensitic transformation in [[steel]] represents the most economically significant example of this category of phase transformations. However, an increasing number of alternatives, such as [[shape memory alloy]]s, are becoming more important as well.

The distinction between [[austenite|austenitic]] and [[martensite|martensitic]] steels is subtle in nature.<ref>{{Citation |last1=Duhamel |first1=C. |title=Diffusionless transformations |date=May 2008 |url=https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/9789812790590_0006 |work=Basics of Thermodynamics and Phase Transitions in Complex Intermetallics |volume=1 |pages=119–145 |access-date=2023-08-11 |series=Book Series on Complex Metallic Alloys |publisher=WORLD SCIENTIFIC |doi=10.1142/9789812790590_0006 |isbn=978-981-279-058-3 |last2=Venkataraman |first2=S. |last3=Scudino |first3=S. |last4=Eckert |first4=J.|bibcode=2008btpt.book..119D |url-access=subscription }}</ref> Austenite exhibits a [[face-centered cubic]] (FCC) unit cell, whereas the transformation to martensite entails a distortion of this cube into a [[body-centered tetragonal]] shape (BCT). This transformation occurs due to a displacive process, where interstitial carbon atoms lack the time to diffuse out.<ref>{{cite book |last=Shewmon |first=Paul G. |title=Transformations in Metals |publisher=McGraw-Hill |year=1969 |isbn=978-0-07-056694-1 |___location=New York |page=333 |language=en}}</ref> Consequently, the unit cell undergoes a slight elongation in one dimension and contraction in the other two. Despite differences in the symmetry of the crystal structures, the chemical bonding between them remains similar.
The iron-carbon martensitic transformation generates an increase in hardness. The martensitic phase of the steel is supersaturated in carbon and thus undergoes [[solid solution strengthening]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Banerjee |first=S. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/title/156890507 |title=Phase transformations: examples from titanium and zirconium alloys |last2=Mukhopadhyay |first2=P. |date=2007 |publisher=Elsevier/Pergamon |isbn=978-0-08-042145-2 |series=Pergamon materials series |___location=Amsterdam ; Oxford |oclc=156890507}}</ref> Similar to [[Work hardening|work-hardened]] steels, defects prevent atoms from sliding past one another in an organized fashion, causing the material to become harder.
