- Summary
- Wayne State University research has yielded both a novel composition and a lower cost processing technique for the creation of austenitic, non-magnetic structural steel. This steel has advantages that include a high work hardening rate, good corrosion resistance, combination of strength and ductility and good creep resistance. It has applications in naval structures, ship construction, petrochemical and food processing industries. Use of this steel in energy generation devices will reduce magnetic permeability and thus reduce power loss.
