Aspects of plotting of thermokinetic diagrams of transformation of supercooled austenite in low-alloy steels are analyzed critically using published data and results of own studies. Special attention is devoted to the methods of processing and visual representation of experimental data. Recommendations on representation of results for developing unified approaches to plotting and interpreting the diagrams obtained are developed.
