In this paper, the law of variation of the strengths of cryogenic austeniti
c steels with temperature and alloying elements is studied. Based on a larg
e number of experimental data, a series of regression expressions have been
obtained by calculating on a computer:
sigma (300)(0.2) = sigma (0)(0.2) + f(Me); sigma (300)(0.2) = sigma (300)(0
.2) exp[A(300 - T)]; sigma (300)(b) = sigma (0)(b) + f(Me); sigma (b) = sig
ma (300)(b) exp[B(300 - T)].
The results of the calculation prove to be satisfactory after verification.
These results are applicable to the strength calculation and designs of cr
yogenic austenitic steels. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv
