austenitaalses
Austenitaalses is a term used in metallurgy to describe aspects related to austenite or the austenitic phase in iron and steel. In English terminology this corresponds to austenite or the austenitic state, characterized by a face-centered cubic arrangement of iron atoms with carbon dissolved in solid solution. The austenitic phase is stable at high temperatures and, with sufficient alloying, can be stabilized to lower temperatures, including room temperature.
In steel, austenite (gamma-iron, γ-Fe) forms when the material is heated into the austenitizing range. For pure
Carbon content in austenite is limited by solubility at a given temperature and decreases as the temperature
Applications of austenitic structures are widespread. Austenitic stainless steels (high Cr and Ni content) are valued
