Conclusions
-
1.
Nickel increases the ductility and fracture toughness of austenitic steel at low temperatures due to the higher stability with respect to the martensitic transformation.
-
2.
The addition of 0.22–0.26% N raises the strength of the steel, the ductility and fracture toughness remaining fairly high.
