The Effect Of δ-Ferrite Upon the Low Temperature Mechanical Properties of Centrifugally Cast Stainless Steels

  • Chapter

Abstract

Stainless steels, in wrought form, are well-established as constructional materials for low temperature use. Austenitic steels in particular have mechanical strength, toughness and stability at temperatures down to the liquid helium regime, and are consequently specified for use as the main load-bearing comr ponents of devices, such as magnets, which utilise the phenomenon of superconductivity. The low temperature properties of a va(ietr of wrought stainless steels have been thoroughly investigated 1-6. Cast materials have not yet found such wide application in low temperature environments, and their low temperature properties have not been subjected to the same scrutiny. Casting alloys were evaluated by Goodzeit(7) for use in the Brookhaven 80-inch liquid hydrogen bubble chamber.
