Abstract/Summary:
The feasibility of using Laves phase precipitation as a major strengthening constituent in a work-hardenable austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steel has been demonstrated. Thermodynamic and kinetic analyses showed that among the three intermetallic phases: sigma (;Overall three groups of materials were investigated and compared based upon their response to aging at 704...
