Abstract
Stainless steel is often used as a structural material in ctrygenic systems. For many large-scale, low temperature applications, knowledge of specific heat values for such alloys is essential for proper design. Collings et al 1 have recentky made calorimetric measurements on AISI 310S stainless steel. These measurements indicate the occurence of superparamagnetism, presumably associated with magnetic clusters, by a temperature-independent contribution to the specific heat. Corsan and Mitchen 2 have recently reported specific heat measurement form 4 K to room temperature on a series of laboratory-produced FeCrNi alloys with chromium contents ranging from 12–24 wt.% and nickel contents int he range 12–20 wt.% Differences of up to 30% were observed in the specific heats as measured at 4 K. However, to the best of our knowledge, no data previously existed on the most common low temperature structural stainless steel—AISI 304. This note describes the results of low temperature specific heat measurements on AISI 304 abd AISI 304L stainless. L designated low carbon content.
