Abstract

The stacking fault energies of seven commercial austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni, Fe-Cr-Ni-Mn and Fe-Mn-Ni alloys have been determined by X-ray diffraction line profile analysis. From comparison with existing data on laboratory alloys with similar compositions, it is concluded that both Ni and C increase γ while Cr, Si, Mn, and N decrease γ. Regression analysis of data produced in this study provides an expression relating γ to commercial alloy composition in terms of Ni, Cr, Mn, and Mo alloy concentrations.
