Abstract
In the present investigation, twinned substructures within lath martensite of two water quenched steels (0.2 wt. %C and 0.8 wt. %C) were studied. The lath martensite has typical hierarchical packet-block-lath with dislocation substructure. Besides, laths that are misoriented by <011>/70.5° or <111>/60° and bordered by {011} plane, namely twinned laths, are observed, of which the density increases and the scale decreases as more carbons were presented. Such twinned laths have body centered cubic (bcc) crystal structure, belonging to twinned variants following the classical Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S) orientation relationship with respect to the parent austenite. Unlike bcc {112}<111> twins, twinned variants produce strong double diffraction and in turn the extra diffraction spots that are commonly observed in the martensite in steels with wide range of carbon contents.
