Abstract: Martensitic transformation in steels is responsible for their very high strength and has thus been studied for more than one century since the first works of Martens. However, there is not yet simple physical theory. A rigorous classification of the crystallographic subgroupoids (packets) of the KS variants and the continuity between the KS, NW and Pitsch variants are introduced to represent the crystallographic intricacy associated to the martensite transformation. From this analysis, a new simple theory based on Pitsch distortion is proposed. The distortion respects the hard sphere packing of the iron atoms and implies the existence of a neutral line along the close packed directions. Its principal strains are 0, -5.8 and +15.5 %, well below the +12, +12 and -20 % values of the Bain distortion. Martensite variants nucleate by Pitsch distortion in an austenitic matrix continuously deformed by the transformation. The martensite variants grow by the same Pitsch distortion; they are locally in Pitsch orientation, and therefore are gradually oriented inside the deformation field of austenite leading to the continuum of orientations including KS and NW. Many observations reported in literature can now be re-interpreted.
