The Mechanism of Embrittlement of the Heat-Affected Zone of Metastable Austenitic Steel Welded Joints
Metastable austenitic steels are used in cryogenic engineering. These steels, as a rule, contain up to 0.1% C, 13–20% Cr, various combinations of nickel and manganese, and possibly nitrogen. They are character...

Peculiarities of the Low-Temperature Electrical and Magnetic Properties in Fe-Cr-Ni-Mn Alloys
The magnetic states of Fe-18Cr-Ni alloys at low temperatures are determined by the INi-Ni > 0, INi-Fe > 0, and IFe-Fe < 0 exchange interactions. With 6 to 16% Ni concentration, the low-temperature magnetic state ...
