Conclusions
-
1.
Microadditions of yttrium to austenitic corrosion-resistant steels lead to formation of yttrium sulfide in place of manganese or iron sulfide, which improves the technological plasticity of the steel.
-
2.
The effect of yttrium on the technological plasticity is greatest in nitrogen-free steel. The smaller effect of yttrium in nitrogen-containing steels is probably due to the formation of hard and brittle yttrium nitride.
-
3.
The effectiveness of small yttrium additions depends on the technique of adding it and its residual concentration in the steel.
