Martensite vs Martemper - What's the difference?

martensite | martemper |


As a noun martensite

is (metallurgy) a solid solution of carbon in iron; the chief constituent of steel.

As a verb martemper is

to subject (steel) to a heat treatment involving austenitization followed by step quenching (at a rate fast enough to avoid the formation of ferrite, pearlite or bainite), used to produce martensite under relatively low stress.
