Stability of Expanded Austenite During Annealing in Vacuum. [PDF]
In situ X-ray diffraction has been used to investigate the stability of expanded austenite during annealing in vacuum for the austenitic stainless steel 316Ti, the super-austenitic stainless steel 904L, and the duplex steel 318LN. Expanded austenite has been formed using plasma immersion ion nitriding before.

Characterization of the expanded austenite developed on AISI 316 LM steel by plasma nitriding [PDF]
AISI 316 LM samples were plasma nitrided at a temperature of 380°C for different times between 0.5 and 8 h in a 85%N2- 15%H2 gas mixture. Different experimental techniques such as: optical microscopy (OM), X- ray diffraction (XRD ) and glow ...

Depth-Resolved Phase Analysis of Expanded Austenite Formed in Austenitic Stainless Steel [PDF]
Expanded austenite γN formed after nitrogen insertion into austenitic stainless steel and CoCr alloys is known as a hard and very wear resistant phase. Nevertheless, no single composition and lattice expansion can describe this phase with nitrogen in solid solution.

Pancake-like antiphase domains in perfect nitrogen-expanded austenite by TEM characterization
Elongated superstructure diffraction spots were observed in perfect nitrogen-expanded austenite without stress or plastic strain, which was prepared by plasma-based low-energy nitrogen-ion implanting Fe-Cr-Ni austenitic alloy foils at low temperature of ...

Chemical Load-Induced Surface Nanocrystallization in Nitrided Martensitic Stainless Steel [PDF]
Surface nanocrystallization is a critical approach for improving mechanical and functional properties of materials. Beyond conventional mechanical routes, chemical loading presents a promising pathway for nanocrystallization via interstitial-driven phase

Residual Stress in Expanded Austenite on Stainless Steel; Origin, Measurement, and Prediction [PDF]
ABSTRACT Expanded austenite is a supersaturated solid solution of nitrogen/carbon in austenite that forms as a case by the diffusion of nitrogen/carbon into austenitic stainless steel. Expanded austenite has a high level of hardness that provides resistance against galling and wear, superior resistance against localized corrosion, and ...

Lattice expansion of carbon-stabilized expanded austenite
The lattice parameter of expanded austenite was determined as a function of the content of interstitially dissolved carbon in homogeneous, carburized thin stainless steel foils. For the first time this expansion of the face-centered cubic lattice is determined on unstrained austenite.

On the interstitial induced lattice inhomogeneities in nitrogen-expanded austenite [PDF]
Lattice inhomogeneities, i.e. nitrogen interstitial-induced hexagonal-close-packed martensite (HCP-εN) and shear bands, can form in face-centred cubic nitrogen-expanded austenite (FCC-γN) synthesised on Fe-Cr-Mn and Fe-Cr-Ni austenitic stainless steel (ASS) using triode-plasma nitriding (TPN). Homogenous elemental distribution between HCP-εN and FCC-γN

Low Temperature Carburizing of Stainless Steels and the Development of Carbon Expanded Austenite* [PDF]
Abstract Low-temperature carburizing dramatically enhances the inherently low wear resistance of austenitic stainless steels due to the formation of a carbon-supersaturated solid solution, i.e. expanded austenite.
