An obsolete term, formerly used to describe the structure obtained (cementite precipitated in ferrite) when martensite is heavily tempered.
At the time the term was created, this structure was thought to be a distinct phase. However, it is now recognised that the same structure can be obtained in numerous different ways.
Sorbite was named after the British metallurgist H. C. Sorby.
