Effects of carbon and nitrogen on the elastic constants of AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) type 304 stainless steel

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6490192

Nine AISI type 304 stainless steel alloys were studied at room temperature. The carbon-plus-nitrogen contents of these alloys ranged from 0.067 to 0.325 wt.% (from 0.3 to 1.3 at. %). Five elastic constants (the longitudinal modulus, Young's modulus, the shear modulus, the bulk modulus and Poisson's ratio) were determined by a pulse echo ultrasonic method.
