Abstract
The work covered in this thesis provides a comprehensive discussion of the transformation behaviour of Type 304 metastable stainless steels with small' variations in alloy composition. The study focuses mainly on the austenite stability with respect to alloy composition, rate of deformation and temperature. To achieve these objectives, uniaxial tensile tests at 0.3 true strain were performed at low and high strain rates (10-3s-1 and 3 x 10-2s-1 respectively), in the temperature range of -60 to 55°C under isothermal testing conditions.
