Which consequence results when martensitic transformation in steel lattice occurs under constraint?

💡 Explanation

Increased retained austenite occurs because constrained martensitic transformation strains the lattice, preventing full transformation. The mechanism is lattice distortion inhibiting diffusion, therefore austenite remains rather than forming martensite entirely like in an unconstrained setting.
