What is the difference between austenite stabilisers and ferrite stabilisers ?

1 Answer

Answer :

Austenite stabilisers have the effect of extending the temperature range overwhich austenite is formed.
Such elements are carbon, manganese, nickel, copper and cobalt.

Ferrite stabilisers have the effect of extending the temperature range over which alpha and delta ferrite
are formed, which consequently reduces temperature range over which austenite is formed. Such
elements are silicon, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium and niobium.
