Which outcome occurs when rapid heating of a metal occurs during quenching?

💡 Explanation

Martensite formation is increased because diffusionless transformation is favoured over equilibrium phase transitions. Rapid heating increases stress therefore favoring phases that accommodate strain rather than softer austenitic alternatives under equilibrium cooling.
