Abstract

Three-dimensional atom probe observations and thermodynamic calculations revealed that the mechanism of γ-phase stabilization by N addition in the Co-29Cr-6Mo alloy is different from that in stainless steel: N addition does not lower the free energy of the γ phase in Co-29Cr-6Mo but increases the energy barrier and thus lowers the kinetic rate of the γ → ε transition through the formation of Cr-N short range order.
