The presence of athermal epsilon- and alpha-martensite (alpha') in the as-cast structure of a Fe-0.08C-1.95Si-15.1Mn-1.4Al-0.017N alloy has been revealed by electron backscattered diffraction analysis. The alloy exhibited two athermal martensitic transformations described by gamma -> alpha' and gamma -> epsilon -> alpha'. The Shoji-Nishiyama orientation relationship was observed between gamma-austenite and epsilon-martensite, while alpha-martensite nucleated from gamma-austenite exhibited a Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship. Six crystallographic variants of alpha-martensite consisting of three twin-related variant pairs were observed in epsilon-bands. A planar parallelism of {0001}epsilon || {110}alpha' and a directional relation of lying within 1 deg of existed for these variants.
