Empirical relationships for the effect of alloying elements in hypoeutectoid steels (< 0.77% Carbon) on austenite and martensite transformation temperatures have been described by Andrews. |
| %C | %Mn | %Si | %Ni | %Cr | %Mo | %V |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ac1 = °F temperature that austenite begins to form on heating. |
| Ac3 = °F temp on heating that ferrite to austenite transformation is complete. |
| MS = °F temperature that martensite begins to form on cooling. |
| M10 = °F temperature 10% martensite formation on cooling. |
| M50 = °F temperature 50% martensite formation on cooling. |
| M90 = °F temperature 90% martensite formation on cooling. |
| MF = °F temperature that martensite formation is completed. |
