With the martensite transformation retained austenite carbon content increase in carbon steels. This mechanism postpone the martensite transformation of retained austenite to lower temperature. This is one of the reason why we cannot reach %100 martensite transformation in structure.
D. E. Kaputkin
In carbon-free steels alloying elements shift the transformation temperature as up (alpha-stabilizators) as down (gamma-stabilizators) because these elements changes austenite area in phase diagram.
