Austenite

Definition: Austenite is a solid solution of carbon and other elements in iron, with a face-centered cubic crystal structure. It is the non-magnetic form of steel or iron, characterized by its high ductility and excellent formability.

Senses:

• Sense 1: Metallurgy - Austenite refers to the high-temperature phase of iron or steel, usually obtained by heating them above their critical temperatures.
• Sense 2: Materials Science - Austenite is used to describe a phase within certain alloys, resulting in specific characteristics.

Examples:

• As the steel is heated, it transforms into austenite, which enhances its ability to be formed into various shapes.
• This particular alloy contains a high austenite content, making it suitable for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance.
