Results of the researches of the crystalline structure of carbon steels martensite are analysed. Embedding of carbon atoms in steel (up to 1,7% mass. or 8 at.%) on one of the a, b, c edges of the b.c.c. lattice of the martensitic phase (b.c.c. α-Fe type) results in the increase of this edge and corresponding changes of the closely spaced edges. In this case, the crystalline structure of the martensite can be presented as a set of blocks of four distorted b.c.c. lattices with different sizes of the a, b, c lattice edges. Under the ordered location of carbon atoms only on c lattice edge, a pseudotetragonal structure arises, that results in an appearance of doublets of the diffraction lines. In the case of unordered (chaotic) location of the C atoms (on any of the lattice edge a, b, c) martensitic structure remains cubic one and the diffraction lines are broadening. The crystalline structure of martensite is well enough described also by root-mean-square displacements of the Fe atoms from positions of equilibrium caused by periodic insertion of the carbon atoms on c crystal edges of b.c.c. lattice of the martensitic phase.

Key words: carbon steel, martensite, crystal structure, ordering, blocks of sublattices, tetragonality, pseudotetragonality.
