Abstract
When a "superequilibrium" amount of nitrogen (0.9 - 1.3%) is introduced int o corrosion-resistant low-carbon steel with about 18% chromium, the structu re of the steel becomes completely austenitic after cooling to room tempera ture without alloying with austenite-forming elements (Ni, Mn, Cu, Co). The structural transformations in cooling and heating such alloys, and hence t heir properties, can be controlled by changing the nitrogen content.
