Objective
The proposed project aims at determining the composition and the fabrication cycle of a family of new high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steels, less expensive than those presently on the market, that combine resistance to corrosion, high ductility and toughness with a high mechanical strength.
The expected balance performance/costs for products designed for the Strip Casting route will considerably improve the potential of Stainless Steels as structural materials, opening wide new market opportunities. In addition, this new technique allows alloying more nitrogen without producing defects, increasing austenite stability and mechanical strength.
Laboratory testing will suggest the composition for testing on full-scale pilot production. Steel performance will be evaluated on prototypes of structural components.
