Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0889145A1] A novel austenitic-ferritic stainless steel, with low nickel content and high tensile elongation, has the composition (by wt.) less than 0.04% C, 0.4-1.2% (exclusive) Si, 2-4% (exclusive) Mn, 0.1-1% (exclusive) Ni, 18-22% (exclusive) Cr, 0.05-4% (exclusive) Cu, less than 0.03% S, less than 0.1% P, 0.1-0.3% (exclusive) N and less than 3% Mo. The steel has a two phase structure containing 30-70% austenite and has a Creq/Nieq ratio of 2.3-2.75, where Creq = Cr% + Mo% + 1.5Si% and Nieq = Ni% + 0.33Cu% + 0.5Mn% = 30C% + 30N%. The austenite stability of the steel is controlled by an IM index of 40-115, where IM = 551 - 805(C + N)% - 8.52Si% - 8.57Mn% - 12.51Cr% - 36Ni% - 34.5Cu% - 14Mo%.
