Retain the austenite via diffusion control under electropulsing to improve the mechanical properties of the AISI 420 stainless steel

Retained austenite (RA) can efficiently increase the plasticity of steel with high tensile strength. In this work, electropulsing was used to improve the mechanical properties of the steel by stabilizing RA. AISI 420 stainless steel with ultra-high strength (1720 MPa) and 7.9 % elongation was prepar...
