Adolf Adolph Martens and his contributions to materials engineering

A litle biography of Adolph Martens His name is tightly connected to the martensitic transformation and to martensite, even though he did not work directly in this area.

The msm.cam website is a wonderfull source of info.A great teaching source for those learning metallurgy.Even has a downloadable [no charge 400+ p ] book on bainite ! Videos of lectures .And what will get any metallurgist exited - videos of dislocations moving !!! When I started out in the 1960s it was optical microscope at 1000x ,then into electron microscopes, now up to 1,000,000X !!..Check it out .
