Abstract

Interstitial-free Fe alloys containing 1.5 or 3.0 at. pct Mn, or 2.5 at. pct Mo show static strain aging when strained in tension at room temperature, then aged at temperatures between 300 and 450°C (573 and 723 K). Alloys containing 1.5 or 3 at. pct Cr show only recovery when similarly treated. On the basis of this and previous work1 we conclude that the strain aging of Fe by substitutional solutes is a general phenomenon. Its extent increases with increasing atom size difference.
