It takes place from a face-centred cubic high-temperature phase, austenite, to a metastable body-centred cubiclow-temperature phase, martensite. Especially in the industrial processing of steels, the martensitic phase transformation is of crucial importance, as it determines the strength of the material. Despite numerous investigations, the detailed processes during this phase transformation and the respective orientation relationships between the phases are not yet fully understood. In this work, the influence of silicon (Si) on the carbon (C) redistribution in martensitic steels at an ageing time of 2 years is investigated. One half of each sample was quenched in liquid nitrogen in order to be able to investigate the orientation relationship between austenite and martensite after the martensitic transformation. In comparison of the two alloys $Fe-24wt\%Ni-0.4wt\%C$ and $Fe-24wt\%Ni-0.4wt\%C-2wt\%Si,$ the Si influence led to smaller initial austenite grains and consequently smaller martensite lenses, but had no major effect on the c/a ratio of the martensite lattice. The results of the atom probetomography (APT) showed a different segregation behaviour within the interface region between austenite and martensite. In the alloy without silicon, iron (Fe) enriched slightly in the martensite, while nickel (Ni) and C depleted. This trend was not observed in the alloy with Si, where only an increase of C and Ni and a sigmoidal behaviour of silicon could be observed within the interfacial region. Correlation with transmission electron micrographs showed that carbon clusters formed along fine {112}<111> twin boundaries in the martensite. The determination of the predominant orientation relationship between martensite and austenite was identified using electron backscatter diffraction patterns. For this purpose, a Matlab code based on the MTEX toolbox was developed, which offers different modes of investigation. In transmission electron microscopy, only single, individual orientation relationships (ORs) can be analysed, whereas electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) images allow statistical measurements on a large number of grains. In comparison of the resulting pole figures (PFs) and on the basis of theoretically generated PFs of ORs discovered in the literature, the main OR could be identified as Greninger-Troiano (GT) by means of an image comparison algorithm as well as rotation angle deviation and misorientation angle distribution. Furthermore, a two-step optimisation process for the estimation of the single crystal stiffness tensor from the indentation modulus is presented, achieved by a correlative multiscale analysis combining results based on first-principle calculations and nanoindentation experiments with characterisation methods such as SEM, EDS or EBSD. The possibilities and limitations were investigated using pure austenitic FeNiC steel and a multiphase Seymchan meteorite. It was shown that the prediction of the anglular dependent elastic modulus is possible on the basis of either directly DFT-simulated or experimentally determined stiffness tensors, and that different phase regions could be distinguished in a correlated indentation modulus-hardness orientation plot.}, cin = {523110 / 520000}, ddc = {620}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)523110_20140620$ / $I:(DE-82)520000_20140620$}, pnm = {DFG project 406912286 - Atomare Umverteilung von Kohlenstoff während der Austenit-Martensit-Umwandlung in Stählen (406912286)}, pid = {G:(GEPRIS)406912286}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-2024-01868}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/979824}, }
