Abstract (en)

Austenitic stainless steel utilizing the TRIP effect with a balanced pitting resistance equivalent for high corrosion resistance. The austenitic stainless steel contains 0-0.04 weight % C, 0.2-0.8 weight % Si, 0-2.0 weight % Mn, 16.0-19.0 weight % Cr, 4.0-6.5 weight % Ni, 1.0-4.0 weight % Mo, 0-4.0 weight % W, 0-2.0 weight % Cu, 0.20-0.30 weight % N, the rest being iron and inevitable impurities occurring in stainless steels, the proportion of the ferrite phase in the microstructure is 0-10.0 volume %, the rest being austenite, when quenched and heat treated at the temperature range of 900 - 1200 °C, preferably 950 - 1150 °C.
