Conclusions
-
1.
With an increase in manganese and carbon contents in austenitic Fe-C-Mn steels their mechanical properties at temperatures of 293 to 4°K increase and the magnetic permeability decreases.
-
2.
Alloying of Fe-C-Mn steels with chromium leads to a significant reduction in their magnetic permeability, but sharp embrittlement at cryogenic temperatures occurs.
-
3.
Aluminum has a favorable influence on the mechanical properties of Fe-C-Mn steels but leads to an increase in their magnetic permeability.
-
4.
The combined addition to the steels of chromium and aluminum makes it possible to obtain in them a satisfactory combination of mechanical and magnetic properties which makes the Fe-C-Mn-Cr-Al system promising in the development of low-magnetism materials for cryogenic purposes.
