Abstract

The industries of developed countries widely use alloy steel-copper pseudoalloys. In copper-infiltrated steels the strength, ductility, and wear resistance increase due to the creation of a structure with a greater proportion of metastable austenite. Such a structure can be obtained by a substantiated choice of the composition, concentration inhomogeneity, and appropriate heat-treatment regime of the material. The present paper is devoted to the decomposition of supercooled austenite in chromium-nickel steel-copper pseudoalloys with an optimum distribution of the alloying additives.
