We examine here the case that in deformed austenitic stainless steels, the transformation texture should be calculated in two-stages. The first involves the transformation of austenite into ε-martensite, which then changes into body-centred cubic martensite. The procedure requires two fitting parameters, connected with the extent of variant selection. Our analysis shows that it may not be necessary to follow this procedure, with the texture adequately calculated by considering direct transformation into body-centred cubic martensite. Some comments are also made about the calculation of the interaction energy between the applied stress and martensite.
