摘要:
An Fe-Cr-Mn alloy is disclosed which has the following composition by wt% and corrosion resistance of which is improved and deterioration in its strength is prevented at grain boundaries due to irradiation of high-energy particles such as neutrons: 5 to 40% of Mn, 5 to 18% of Cr, 2.0 to 12% of Al and the balance of Fe except for unavoidable impurities. In the alloy according to the present invention, Al is added to an Fe-Cr-Mn alloy by a restricted quantity as a main component element. As a result of the addition of Al, an alloy can be obtained in which lowering of concentration of Cr at grain boundaries due to irradiation of high-energy particles such as neutrons can be prevented or concentration of the solutes can be raised.
摘要:
An austenitic steel comprising Ni of 9-30%, Cr of 10-23%, and Fe of at least 45%, is characterized in comprising enough Cr and Ni to form whole austenitic structure in the equilibrium diagram at 700.degree. C., having austenitic phase at room temperature, and the austenitic phase is a single crystal, and has superior resistance against stress. The austenitic steel preferably comprises C.ltoreq.0.1%, Si.ltoreq.1%, Mn.ltoreq.2%, Ni 9-15%, Cr 16-18.5%, and at least one of elements selected from the group of Mo 1-3%, Ti 0.05-1%, and Nb 0.1-1.5%. The alloy is useful as a material for members of a reactor core of a nuclear reactor.
