A study of stacking faults in deformed austenitic stainless steel by X-ray diffraction

Making use of the data obtained already in our laboratory on elongated, quenched samples of austenitic steel lCrl8Ni9, such as the effective domain size D_eff, the average dislocation density-ρ, the average dislocation configuration parameter, -M, the range of strain field -R_e, the elastic energy density 〈E/V〉,etc., some exact and clear expressions for the relation of intrinsic stack-ing fault (SF) density α′, extrinsic SF density α″, twin fault density β, SF energy γ, true particle size D₀, minimum value of the fault width T_min, and maximum particle size D_max are given.
