Investigation of phase transformations in stainless steel under diverging shock-wave loading of approximately 10-7 C

Phase transformation in austenitic stainless steel class under the effect of intense diverging short-duration (10-7) shock-wave, which is created in the material by a powerful electron beams, were investigated using NGR spectra method. The investigations conducted testify of α-γ-transformation presence in a local zone of the shock- wave effect. The transformation observed is connected with the local heating of the material becaue of shock-wave relief
