Type 304 is the most commonly produced stainless steel, accounting for more than half of all stainless steel production. It is an austenitic grade that withstands ordinary corrosion in architecture, ...

The quantity of martensite formed in a carbon steel depends upon its carbon content and the lowest temperature to which ... The material is initially heated above 727 C and converted to a homogeneous ...

Low carbon steel alloys have a composition close to the Eutectoid composition: Fe - 0.77 wt% C. The transition that determines the micro-structure of the alloy is a solid-state process: Austenite <-> ...
