Description

MAP\_STEEL\_N_AUST_YS calculates yield strength of high nitrogen austenitic stainless steel as a function of test temperature, nitrogen content and grain size.

The calculations are valid for austenitic stainless steels with an iron content between 60 and 70% by weight. It is assumed that the nitrogen is in solid solution.

Applicable test temperatures are between 4 and 625 Kelvin.
