Abstract
The development of industrial applications of superconducting magnets in such fields as nuclear fusion reactor and levitation railways requires non-magnetic structural materials characterized by high strength and toughness at cryogenic temperatures. In these cases, the classical Fe-Ni-Cr austenitic alloys (AISI 300 series) due to their microstructural instability during plastic deformation at low temperature and their relative poor yield strength do not present all the expected requirements.
