MS (Martensitic steel): A body-centered tetragonal crystalline phase of steel. It is the primary strengthening phase in Dual Phase steels and Martensitic steels are 100% martensite. It is a hard phase that can form during the quenching of steels with sufficient carbon equivalents. Martensite can also be formed by the work hardening of austenite.
