The temperature at which the transformation of austenite to martensite will be complete (finished).
Mf simply means martensite finish. In low carbon, low alloy steels the Mf temperature is about 250ºC.
The Mf temperature varies, depending upon the carbon and alloy content of the steel, reducing as the carbon and alloy content increases. If the Mf temperature lies below room temperature, some austenite will be retained in the structure (retained austenite).
