Description

Austenite was stabilized at room temperature in a low-interstitial 16%Cr transformable ferritic stainless steel by quenching from the intercritical annealing temperature to below the martensite start temperature of the intercritical austenite prior to the partitioning of interstitials C and N to the austenite at or above the quenching temperature. Partitioning temperatures as high as 500 oC were associated with austenite enrichment, indicating the suitability of quenching and partitioning processing for stainless steels.
