AreX Diffractometer GNR Proposal for measuring Retained Austenite in the industrial domain and in laboratory. Austenite is a phase of iron stable at high temperature. Hardening of steels requires heating to an austenitic phase and quenching to room temperature to ferrite and martensite. Austenite that does not transform to martensite or ferrite upon quenching is defined retained austenite. Depending of the steel chemistry and specific heat treatment, the retained austenite level in the case can vary from over 50% of the structure to nearly zero.
