Abstract
A study has been made of the influence of carbon and aluminium additions on the mechanical properties under uniaxial tensile loading and by Charpy V notch impact tests at room temperature and -196 degrees C on the Fe-24% Mn alloys. It is concluded that the Fe-24% Mn-5% Al-0.2% C appears as a new nickel-free iron-based alloy which is particularly interesting for cryogenic applications. In these alloys, both additions of carbon and aluminium contribute to the stability of the austenitic phase by suppressing the gamma rarr epsiv martensitic transformation of the binary Fe-24% Mn and to the solution hardening of the manganese-rich austenitic alloy.
