“…Ferritic grades, containing chromium and possibly other stabilizing elements (Ti, Mo, Nb, etc. ) are well known as cost-saving materials as they do not have the expensive nickel additions (Charles et al, 2008), while at the same time presenting good mechanical properties similar to those offered by austenitic steel grades. Moreover, some standard ferritic grades such as 409, 410, and 430 are readily available all over the world, and are already very successfully used for various applications, such as washingmachine drums and exhaust systems in the automotive industry, and actually have a much broader application potential in many fields (Charles et al, 2008).…”
