✦ Synopsis

Estimations of nucleation barriers for singledomain and multiple-domain states of a martensite phase have been obtained. A macroscopic approach, considering the free energy of a heterophase system to be a sum of the energy of the elastically stressed equilibrium phases and the energy of interfaces, was used. It has been shown that for the martensitic transformation in steels and iron alloys the nucleation of single-domain (single-crystal) martensite is impossible. The nucleation barrier for multiple-domain (twinned) martensite has been found to be of 103 times less than former estimations that had rejected any possibility of the homogeneous nucleation of martensite.

Martensitic nucleation near inhomogeneities is modeled using linear elasticity. The coherent strain energy due to the formation of a martensite embryo decreases when the inhomogeneity is elastically stiffer than the matrix and vice versa. A maximum reduction of 20% in strain energy is calculated for
