Description

For this high-nickel-content austenitic stainless steel we determined ultrasonically the complete set of polycrystalline elastic constants between 295 and 4 K. A reversible magnetic transition occurs near 54 K. During cooling, the bulk modulus begins to soften at a much higher temperature, near 150 K. Local moments above the transition temperature may explain this peculiarity
