Vg. Gavrilyuk et al., STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF NITROGEN, CARBON, AND METALLIC ELEMENTS ON THE ATOMIC INTERACTION IN STEELS BY THE METHOD OF INELASTIC NEUTRON-SCATTERING, Russian metallurgy. Metally, (5), 1995, pp. 45-48
The effects of nitrogen, carbon, chromium. manganese. and nickel on at
omic interaction in austenitic steels have been studied by the method
of thermal-neutron scattering. The interstitial nitrogen and carbon so
lutes do nor weaken metallic bond. The force constant of the interacti
on between metal and nitrogen is by 26% higher than that between metal
and carbon. The direct and deformation nitrogen-nitrogen interactions
are also higher than the carbon-carbon interaction. Comparatively to
chromium and manganese, nickel strengthens the metallic bond in austen
ite.
