title: Deformation-Induced Martensite: A New Paradigm for Exceptional Steels.
abstract: Martensite steel is induced from pearlitic steel by a newly discovered method, which is completely different from the traditional route of quenching austenitic steel. Both experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that Fe-C martensite forms by severe deformation at room temperature. The new mechanism identified here opens a paths to material-design strategies based on deformation-driven nanoscale phase transformations.
