Abstract
The influence of phosphorus has been investigated in the 600-800 degre es C temperature range by examining the changes in hardness, tensile a nd fracture characteristics of type 316 Ti stainless steels, previousl y cold-worked or presolution-treated. A comparison of the results obta ined from the different casts studied shows that the beneficial effect s of phosphorus in the improvement of the mechanical characteristics i s due to the fact that this element is conducive to abundant and fine nucleation of carbides, particularly that of the M(23C)6 chromium carb ide.
