Structural transformations in steels type 18-10 with titanium and niobium under high temperature thermomechanical treatment (HTMT)

Electron-microscopic investigaqtion into effect of titanium and niobium stabilization on transformation peculiarities of defect structure in 18-10 type austenitic corrosion resistant steel under high temperature thermomechanical treatment (HTMT) at deformation single and fractional accumulation is conducted. Thermodynamic stability of carbide phase represents the main factor determining structure-formation process. This parameter essentially affects all consequent stages of defect structure transformation
