The 12 pages that link to Austenite, each with the reason it gives.

• Stainless steelRelated: Nickel and other alloying elements help make many stainless steels austenitic and formable.

• SteelBroader topic: Heating many steels creates austenite, the starting phase for key hardening treatments.

• QuenchingRelated: It is the high-temperature starting phase for many steel quenching treatments.

• Carbon steelBroader topic: Heating steel into the austenite region prepares it for transformations that control final properties.

• Iron–carbon phase diagramRelated: Its larger carbon solubility explains why heating can dissolve carbon before cooling transformations.

• TemperingRelated: The transformation temperature separating austenite from lower-temperature steel phases bounds tempering.

• MartensiteRelated: Martensite forms when austenite transforms during rapid cooling.

• FerriteCompared with: Its greater carbon solubility and different lattice make it ferrite’s key phase contrast.

• CementiteRelated: Austenite transforms into cementite-bearing structures during cooling.

• Alloy steelBroader topic: Many alloying elements change austenite’s stability and transformation behavior.

• Spring steelRelated: Heating steel into the austenite region prepares it for quenching and hardening.

• Heat treatingBroader topic: Many steel treatments first heat the material until austenite forms.
