Description

Some cold-worked austenitic stainless steels with titanium addition exhibit a low creep ductility and a notch sensitivity in the temperature range of 550 deg C to 750 deg C and for times to rupture from 10 to 10,000 hours. It has been shown that this embrittlement increases highly with cold-work percentage, with solution annealing temperature and depends on chemical composition because these factors can modify the difference of hardness between grains and grain boundaries.
