Abstract
The effect of nitrogen content on stacking fault energy (SFE) has been measured in a series of Fe-21Cr-6Ni-9Mn alloys. Stacking fault energies were determined from node measurements using weak beam imaging techniques in transmission electron microscopy. Nitrogen additions lower the SFE from 53 mJ/m2 at 0.21 wt pct to 33 mJ/m2 at 0.24 wt pct. Further increases to 0.52 wt pct do not markedly change the SFE. Carbon and silicon had no effect on SFE in the ranges 0.010 to 0.060 wt pct C and 0.17 to 0.25 wt pct Si. The shift in SFE from 0.21 to 0.24 wt pct N is accompanied by a transition to a more planar plastic deformation mode. The sharp transition precludes the use of linear regression analysis for relating SFE to nitrogen content in this class of alloys.
