Austenitic steel is the name given to the face-centred cubic crystal structure of ferrous metals. This structure is commonly abbreviated as the FCC structure of ferrous metals. The FCC structure is commonly seen in ordinary iron and steel when they are at higher temperatures. They are also often seen in certain varieties of stainless steels, in the 300 series of stainless steels in particular, when they are at room temperature.
Austenitic is also a term commonly used to describe a group of chromium-nickel stainless steels. This group of chromium-nickel stainless steels is commonly known as the 18-8 series or the 300 series. These steels are non-magnetic in the annealed condition. They can only be hardened by the process of cold-working.
Austenitic means a group of ferrous metal alloys that are composed of austenite. Austenite is a phase of stainless steel in which the metal solution is in the solid state. Austenite is stable only at a temperature above 1, 333 degrees Fahrenheit in plain carbon steel. Alloying elements help in the stabilisation of the form at lower temperatures.
