Austenitic stainless steel is one of the four main families of stainless steels, alongside the ferritic, martensitic, and duplex classifications. It consists of several materials, including: iron, chromium, nickel, manganese, and carbon. There are a large number of austenitic stainless steel grades, but the most common are 304 and 316. 3, record 1, English, - austenitic%20stainless%20steel

Les aciers inoxydables austénitiques [...] sont tous des aciers comportant des quantités importantes de chrome et de nickel; ils ont donc une composition telle que la transformation alpha-gamma se produit au chauffage, mais au refroidissement la présence de nickel abaisse la position du point MS à une température très basse permettant de conserver de l'austénite pure à la température ambiante mais thermodynamiquement hors d'équilibre. 2, record 2, French, - acier%20inoxydable%20aust%C3%A9nitique
