La austenita es una solución sólida de hierro y de carbono. Solamente es estable a temperaturas muy elevadas, pero, mediante un templado muy enérgico, se logra que permanezca artificialmente en equilibrio en ciertos aceros especiales (particularmente en los aceros al manganeso) llamados por dicha razón aceros austeníticos. 1, record 2, Spanish, - austenita
