This paper concerned metals in some important way and contained information about, utilized, or discussed these subjects: basic topics: experimental materials and material types: 17-4 ph materials related terms: austenite, corrosion, ductility, elongation, ferrite, martensite, precipitates, precipitation hardening, rockwell hardness, strength, tensile yield strength, ultimate tensile strength parameter values relevant to the data: temp 1200 c and above, temp 300 to 499 c, temp 500 to 899 c, temp 900 ...
There are applications where martensitic or ferritic alloys (400 Series) may be used to advantage although the majority of P/M stainless steel parts are fabricated from austenitic alloys (300 Series); oftentimes this advantage is simply economic, since the 400 Series alloys generally do not contain nickel as do the 300 Series alloys, and thus cost savings can be realized if reduced corrosion resistance can be tolerated; properties such as the ...
