A study has been made of the transformation behaviour in low-carbon iron-manganese alloys within the range 2–10% Mn. Transformation in alloys containing between 4 and 10% Mn occurs martensitically and produces lath martensite but there was also an upper-bainite mode of transformation that took place in the 4–6% Mn alloy range after slow cooling.
