Why is manganese used for austenite stabilization in stainless steel production?

Let's keep it simple. Carbon in iron makes steel. And the trick is to keep the carbon, what little bit there is, inside the matallic matrix when the alloy cools. Cool it too s… (MORE)

Explain the effect of austenite and ferrite stabilizers?

In steels, alloying elements such as silicon, chromium, molybdenum, aluminum, titanium, niobium, etc., stabilize the (body-centered cubic) ferrite phase. These elements are re… (MORE)

What is retained austenite?

During martensitic transformation, even at absolute temperature, all austenite does not transform into martensite. Some austenite always remains, known as retained austenite.

Why is austenite magnetic?

Austenite is not magnetic. It's an allotrope of iron, and has some alloying agents, but it only exists at high temperatures that are well above the Curie point of whatever… (MORE)
