Abstract (en)

An austenitic alloy with improved hot casting and transformation behavior has a defined composition, which also satisfies two relationships between its component elements. <??>An austenitic alloy with improved hot casting and transformation behavior has a defined composition, which also satisfies the two following relationships between its component elements: <??>(a) in relation with the mode of solidification: <??>(b) balance a = eq Nia - 0.5 x eq Cra is less than 3.6 where: <??>(c) eq Cra = Cr + 0.7 x Si + 0.2 x Mn + 1.37 x Mo + 3 x Ti + 6 x Al = 4 x V and where:; <??>(d) eq Nia = Ni + 22 x C + 0.5 x Cu; <??>(e) in relation to the residual ferrite content; <??>(f) balance b = eq Nib - 2 x eq Crb is greater than - 41 where; <??>(g) eq Crb = Cr + 0.7 x Si + 1.37 x Mo + 3 x Ti + 6 x Al + 4 x V, and where:; <??>(h) eq Nib = Ni + 22 x C + 0.5 x Cu + 0.5 x Mn. <??>Independent claims are also included for the following: <??>(a) the fabrication of a billet from this austenitic alloy; <??>(b) the fabrication of a wire from this austenitic alloy; <??>(c) the fabrication of bar from this austenitic alloy; <??>(d) an austenitic alloy piece able to be machined or hot or cold shaped or knitted from such a billet, wire or bar. <??>The composition of the austenitic alloy is, by wt: <??>(a) carbon : 0.010 - 0.04%; <??>(b) nitrogen : 0 - 0.01%; <??>(c) silicon less than 2%; <??>(d) nickel : 16 - 19.9%; <??>(e) manganese less than 8%; <??>(f) chromium : 18.1 - 21%; <??>(g) titanium : 1.8 - 3%; <??>(h) molybdenum less than 3%; <??>(i) copper less than 3%; <??>(j) aluminum less than 1.5%; <??>(k) boron less than 0.01%; <??>(l) vanadium less than 2%; <??>(m) sulfur less than 0.2%; <??>(n) phosphorus less than 0.4%; <??>(o) up to 0.5% at least of an element chosen from yttrium, cerium, lanthanum and other rare earth metals; <??>(p) the remainder being iron and production and deoxidization impurities.
