Title: THE STABILITY AND PROPERTIES OF ALLOY STEELS AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES. A LITERATURE SURVEY

Abstract

A survey was made of the information that is available on the formation of the sigma phase and its effects on the properties of stainless steels. Excerpts were gathered from various journals and monographs and are presented under the following headings: crystal structure and phase equilibria, identification, effects on mechanical properties, effects on welds, and corrosion resistance. It was concluded from these studies that great care must be exercised in the choice of the type of stainless steel to be used for very long periods of time at elevated temperatures. (M.C.G.)
