Effects of Cr on the stacking-fault energy (SFE) and damping capacity were investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. The effect of Cr on SFE was thermodynamically calculated; the damping capacity, phase composition, microstructure and corrosion resistance were experimentally measured. The results showed that Cr increases the SFE of Fe17MnxCr which resulted in the decay of damping capacity; the increase in α’ martensite with the increasing Cr content above 6% pins the movement of Shockley partials’ dislocation and thus makes the damping capacity even worse; the optimum Cr content of Fe17MnxCr to improve the corrosion resistance in water vapour with a lesser decrease in damping capacity is about 6%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
