Martensite, named after the German metallurgist Adolf Martens (1850–1914), most commonly refers to a very hard form of steel crystalline structure, but it can also refer to any crystal structure that is formed by diffusionless transformation.
The characteristic body centered tetragonal martensite microstructure was first observed by German microscopist Adolf Martens around 1890.
