This article reviews original work and important new developments in the field of
deformation behavior of high manganese face-centered cubic γ-Fe alloys. Owing to their …

The stacking fault energy plays an important role in the transition of deformation
microstructure. This energy is strongly dependent on the concentration of alloying elements …

Intrinsic stacking fault energy (SFE) values of γ-Fe and AISI 304 austenitic stainless steels
were determined as a function of carbon and nitrogen content using ab initio calculations. In …

Recently developed high-manganese stainless Fe–Cr–Mn–CN steels exhibit an exceptional
combination of strength and ductility and show great promise for structural applications …

For metallic materials, an increase in strength generally results in a decrease in plasticity,
and the simultaneous improvement of strength and plasticity (SISP) has been a hot but …

We reveal the impact of magnetic ordering on stacking fault energy (SFE) and its influence
on the deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties in a class of nonequiatomic …

While the mechanically-induced martensitic transformation and transformation-induced
plasticity (TRIP) effects have various known benefits, transformation of blocky martensite can …

Steels have plasticity-enhancing mechanisms which are not yet fully exploited in automotive
applications. These mechanisms are not yet fully understood and their activation during …

Combined addition of interstitial-substitutional elements has been acknowledged to
contribute to the increase in the strengths of steels. For further improvements in mechanical …

Stacking fault energy (SFE) is of the most critical microstructure attribute for controlling the
deformation mechanism and optimizing mechanical properties of austenitic steels, while …
