Several Fe-based alloys are being considered as potential candidates for applications which require shape-memory behavior or superelastic properties. The possibility of using fabrication methods which are well known in the ...

In this work we studied the magnetic properties of the alloy systems: Fe-Al binary alloys in the BCC phase, Fe-Mn binary alloys in the FCC phase and Fe-Mn-Al ternary alloys in the BCC and FCC phases. All these alloys were ...

Stents are medical devices which promote the opening and mechanical support of clogged blood vessels and, once applied, cannot be removed. The manufacture of bioabsorbable stents is desirable to avoid several subsequent ...

A key feature of the fcc-to-hcp martensitic transformation (MT) in Fe-Mn based alloys is that the fcc structure is strongly stabilized by a paramagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic ordering reaction, which partially or completely ...

The FCC-HCP martensitic transformation in High-Mn steels is strongly affected by the magnetic ordering of the FCC austenite which stabilizes this structure. This manuscript extends the analysis of relative phase stabilities ...

The effect of Cr on the fcc–hcp martensitic transformation in the Fe–Mn–Cr system has been discussed considering different aspects: (a) the relative phase stabilities, (b) the magnetic order of the fcc phase, (c) the ...
