“…The underlying thesis of this study is that high wear resistance is achieved regardless of the steel composition, provided that the metastability of the austenite is given. Although austenite stability depends on many factors—chemical composition, grain size, morphology, stress state, the strength of neighboring phases, and grain orientation—Wong [ 13 ] stated that the chemical composition is the primary factor affecting the austenite stability and that can be used in the first approximation to describe it. The composition of the steels was chosen so that their is approximately the same, while the manganese, carbon, and aluminum contents vary.…”
