Microstructural Constituents and Mechanical Properties of Low-Density Fe-Cr-Ni-Mn-Al-C Stainless Steels.

Metallic material concepts associated with the sustainable and efficient use of resources are currently the subject of intensive research. Al addition to steel offers advantages in view of lightweight, durability, and efficient use of high-Fe scrap from the Al industry. In the present work, Al was added to Fe-12Cr-(9,12)Ni-3Mn-0.
