Mechanical Properties of 18Mn-5Cr Austenitic Steel at Cryogenic Temperatures

  • Chapter
Austenitic Steels at Low Temperatures

Abstract

In recent years, high manganese austenitic steels were applied to large Tokamak fusion devices, that is, JT-60 of Japan and TFTR of the USA. High manganese austenitic steels have advantages over Fe-Cr-Ni austenitic stainless steels in strength, stability of austenite and economy. Although some of high manganese steels are expected to be applicable to cryogenic structures, there are few data on the mechanical properties at low temperatures.
