Calorimetric study of cold deformed Fe-Cr-Ni alloys

The calorimetry method was used to study thermally activated processes in the Fe-Cr-Ni alloys. The exothermal and the endothermic effects were determined as a function of the degree of deformation on heating. It was shown that as cold-worked Fe-Cr-Ni alloys are heated to the temperature of the onset of the (α → γ) -transition, depending on the degree of deformation, one, two or three exothermal effects caused probably, by recovery processes may be observed
