Abstract

Precipitation kinetics was studied in a rapidly solidified 316 stainless steel containing 0.22% C and 1% Ti. A high density of fine TiC particles was obtained by annealing at 923 to 973 K. An increase in recrystallization temperature and room temperature yield strength was observed as compared with the rapidly solidified 316 stainless steel with a nominal carbon and titanium content. An extension of solid solubility by rapid solidification thus offers a potential for developing precipitation strengthened austenitic stainless steels to improve structural and mechanical stability and likely the irradiation resistance.
