Lever Rule
In the case of binary systems, the equilibrium weight fraction of each
phase at any point within the two-phase region can be calculated from
the equilibrium phase diagram by drawing a tie line (horizontal line) and
determining where it intersects the single-phase boundaries on either side
of the tie line:

Allotriomorphs and Widmanstätten
Widmanstätten plates grow along well-defined planes of austenite
Grain boundary allotriomorphs nucleate while developing an orientation relationship with one of the neighbor austenite grains. They maintain a semicoherent interface with the austenite grain on which they nucleate but the interface with the other austenite grain is incoherent.

Grain boundary allotriomorphs
Tem
pera
ture
At small undercoolings below A3 , ferrite nucleates on austenite grain boundaries and grows in a blocky manner to form grain boundary allotriomorphs. At larger undercoolings, there is an increasing tendency for the ferrite to grow from grain boundaries as plates, the so-called Widmanstätten side-plates, which become increasingly finer as the undercooling increases.

Intragranular idiomorphs are equiaxed crystals which almost always nucleate inside austenite grains usually on non-metallic inclusions present in the steel. An idiomorph forms without contact with austenite grain boundaries and may sometimes show crystallographic facets.Intragranular Widmanstätten plates are similar to grain boundary Widmanstätten plates but nucleate entirely within austenite grains.

Growth without carbon diffusion possible(e.g. martensite)
T0 temperature denotes the highest temperature at which the diffusionless formation of ferrite can occur. Diffusionless transformations are therefore restricted to below T0
temperature (e.g. martensite).

Massive Transformation
Reconstructive but diffusionless Only involves short-range rearrangement of atoms at the / interface It occurs upon cooling from the homogenous -field to a temperature in the
homogenous -field (in C steels with very low C levels such as IF steels). At still higher cooling rates, the martensitic transformation may replace the massive
transformation.

Reconstructive No shape deformation Almost always diffusional Growth on both sides of
austenite grain boundaries
Examples:Allotriomorphic ferriteIdiomorphic ferriteMassive ferrite (reconstructive but diffusionless)Pearlite
Displacive No diffusion of Fe or substitutional solutes Carbon may diffuse Shape deformation (surface relief as a result
of shear) Thin plate shape Plate growth only on one side of austenite
grain boundaries
Examples:MartensiteBainite (carbon diffuses during the nucleation but not during the growth )Widmanstätten ferrite (carbon diffuses during paraequilibrium nucleation and growth)
Characteristics of Transformations
Another view holds that C diffusion takes place during both nucleation and growth of bainite.
