This is the name for any solid solution in which gamma iron is the solvent It is a phase in steel where it consists of face-centered cubic iron with carbon in solid solution It is non-magnetic and unstable at room temperature Austenite is a structure name and means nothing as to composition It is the structure from which all quenching heat treatments must start
a solid solution of ferric carbide or carbon in iron; cools to form pearlite or martensite
The non-magnetic form of iron characterized by a face-centered cubic lattice crystal structure It is produced by heating steel above the upper critical temperature and has a high solid solubility for carbon and alloying elements
face-centered cubic iron; also iron and steel alloys that have the FCC crystal structure
Austenite is the name given any solid solution in which gamma iron is the solvent Austenite is a structure name and means nothing as to composition Austenite is the structure from which all quenching heat treatments must start
A solid solution of one or more elements in face-centered cubic iron Unless otherwise designated (such as nickel austenite), the solute is generally assumed to be carbon
A crystalline structure of steel, which contains elements, like carbon, in solid solution, and formed under temperatures of between 1670 and 2535 degrees Fahrenheit
Crystal of iron (non-magnetic), which is characterized by a cubic face centered lattice structure
The face-centered-cubic phase of iron and steel, also referred to as gamma iron In steel, a solid solution in which gamma iron is the solvent
The solid solution in which gamma iron is the solvent Austenite is a structure and does not refer to composition Austenite is the structure from which all quenching heat treatments must start
The family of chromium-nickel stainless steels often referred to as the 300 series of 18-8 group These steels can only be hardened by cold working In the annealed condition they are nonmagnetic In general, they have good corrosion resistance, good formability and are readily weldable
Stainless steel with non-magnetic properties Austenitic stainless steel is very resistance to corrosion due to its nickel content and higher levels of chromium Austenitic stainless steels are hardened and strengthened through cold working rather than heat treatment and ductility is excellent The two most common grades are 304 and 316
The group of chromium-nickel stainless steels commonly known as 18-8 or 300 series These steels are non-magnetic in the annealed condition and can only be hardened by cold-working
