attention in the past decades. It is known that martensite aging effects can be quickly eliminated once the aged martensite is brought into the parent phase even for a very short time, i.e., the annihilating effect of martensite aging AEMA. However, the underlying mechanism of AEMA remains unclear due to the lack of an effective tool to probe the atomic processes during AEMA. It is unclear 1 whether AEMA is caused by a mere diffusionless transformation into the parent phase or by a diffusional process in the parent phase and 2 why long-time aging in martensite can be so easily eliminated in the parent phase. In this paper we use combined molecular-dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations to show that the origin of AEMA is related to atomic diffusion in the parent phase, not merely the reverse phase transformation. The open structure in the B2 parent phase and high-temperature result in a significantly higher diffusivity of point defects in the parent phase compared with that in the martensite; this explains the ultrafast annihilation of martensite aging. We attribute the driving force of AEMA to the symmetry-conforming short-range ordering tendency of point defects.
