Fe-7Ni-0.5Mn-0.03C wt% observed using confocal laser microscopy as it cools from 1300 C. At around 540 C, there is a beautiful transformation observed. Clear evidence, if more is needed, for a displacive mechanism of transformation!

Notice the thermal grooves before transformation, which define the austenite grains.
