The effect of retained and reversed austenite on the damping capacity in high manganese stainless steel with two phases of martensite and austenite was studied. The two phase structure of martensite and retained austenite was obtained by deformation for various degrees of deformation, and a two phase structure of martensite and reverse austenite was obtained by reverse annealing treatment for various temperatures after 70 % cold rolling. With the increase in the degree of deformation, the retained austenite and damping capacity rapidly decreased, with an increase in the reverse annealing temperature, the reversed austenite and damping capacity rapidly increased. With the volume fraction of the retained and reverse austenite, the damping capacity increased rapidly. At same volume of retained and reversed austenite, the damping capacity of the reversed austenite was higher than the retained austenite. Thus, the damping capacity was affected greatly by the reversed austenite.

The influence of reversed austenite on the damping capacity in austenitic stainless steel with two phase of martensite and reversed austenite was investigated. The two phases of deformation induced martensite and reversed austenite was obtained by an reverse annealing treatment at $500^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ for various time after 70% cold rolling. With an increase of the reverse annealing treatment temperature and time, volume fraction of reversed austenite was rapidly increased. With an increase of volume fraction of reveresd austenite, damping capacity was rapidly increased. At same volume of reveresd austenite, damping capacity of reversed austenite obtained by reverse annealing treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for various time was higher then reveresd austenite obtained by reverse annealing treatment at $500^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ for 10min. Thus, the damping capacity was affected greatly by reversed austenite obtained by annealing treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for various time.

The tensile properties of high manganese austenitic stainless steel with the two phase structures of deformation-induced martensite and reversed austenite were studied. Reversed austenite with an ultra-fine grain size of less than $0.3{\mu}m$ was obtained by reversion treatment. The two phases structures of deformation-induced martensite and reversed austenite were obtained by an annealing treatment in the range of $500^{\circ}C-700^{\circ}C$ for various times in 70% cold- rolled high-manganese austenitic stainless steel. The volume fraction of the reversed austenite increased rapidly with increases in the annealing temperature and time. In the stainless steel with the two phases of austenite and martensite, the strength decreased rapidly, while the elongation increased slowly and then rapidly increased with an increase in the volume fraction of the reversed austenite. Therefore, the strength and elongation were strongly controlled by the volume fraction of reversed austenite. A good combination of high strength and elongation could be obtained by the mixed structure of reversed austenite and deformation-induced martensite.

In this study, the ausformed martensite cooled to $-196^{\circ}C$ with various deformation degrees in Fe-30%Ni-0.24%C alloy was transformed to reversed austenite at $500^{\circ}C$ by cyclic reverse martensitic transformation. The effects of prior deformation and the number of cyclic reverse transformation on the microstructure and the mechanical properities of reversed anstensite were investigated. Experimental results showed that the strength of reversed austenite was higher than that of original austenite. This is due to higher dislocation density and grain refining. The reversed austenite formed from ausformed martensite was highly strengthened by prior deformation. This strengthening effect of reversed austenite is attributed to higher dislocation density than grain fefining. The yield strength of reversed austenite below 30% prior deformation, but above 30% prior deformation the strength of reversed austenite is lower than that of deformed austenite. This is due to partly disappearance of strain hardening effect at higher deformation degree by reverse transformation. The strength of reversed austenite is increased with the number of cyclic transformation. Especially, it is principally strengthened by the first cyclic transformation and shows higher increase in yield strength than that of ultimate tensile strength.

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between mechanical properties and damping capacity in high manganese austenitic stainless steel with two phase mixed structure of reversed austenite and deformation induced martensite. Reversed austenite of ultra-fine grain size less than $0.3{\mu}m$ was obtained by reversion treatment. Two phase structure of deformation induced martensite and reversed austenite was obtained by annealing treatment at range of $500^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ for various time in cold rolled high manganese austenite stainless steel. In stainless steel with two phase mixed structure of martensite and austenite, damping capacity decreased rapidly with the increasing hardness and strength. With the increasing elongation, damping capacity was increased rapidly and then, slowly increased.

In this study, the ausformed martensite and marformed martensite obtained from austenite with various deformation degrees in Fe-31% Ni-0.2%C alloy were transformed to revesed austenite at $510^{\circ}C$ by cyclic reverse martensite transformation. The effect of prior deformation, the rapid heating rate of reversion and number of cyclic transformation on the microstructure, mechanical properties of reversed austenite were investigated. The reverse austenite transformation is accomplised by the mechanism of shear type transformation. The structure of reversed austenite formed from ausformed martensite and marformed martensite with high deformation degrees is a fine structure of nearly equiaed grain containg a high density of dislocation tangles and was largely affected by the prior deformation applied before reversal transformation. The strength of reversed austenite is more increased with of cyclic transformation especially it is strength at the first cyclic transformation. The yield stress of revesed austenite of ausformed martensite is lower than that of marformed martensite.

Effects of austenite on the pitting corrosion in 202 stainless steel with two phase of austenite and martensite were investigated through the electrochemical polarization test. Two phases structures of martensite and austenite were obtained by reversed annealing treatment at the range of $500^{\circ}C-700^{\circ}C$ for 10min. in 70% cold-rolled 202 stainless steel. Volume fraction of reversed austenite has increased rapidly with an increase of annealing temperature. Pitting corrosion has arisen mainly on martensite phase in 202 stainless steel with two phases of austenite and martensite. Pitting current density has decreased with an increase of volume fraction of austenite. Consequently, pitting corrosion at martensite has occurred largely with an increase of volume fraction of austenite. Pitting corrosion was affected by volume fraction of austenite.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of reverse transformation on the damping capacity in high manganese austenitic stainless steel. ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite was formed with the specific direction and surface relief by deformation. Over 95% of the austenite phase was transformed to deformation-induced ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite by 70% cold rolling. Reverse transformation became rapid above an annealing temperature of $550^{\circ}C$, but there was no significant transformation above $700^{\circ}C$. In addition, with increasing annealing time at $700^{\circ}C$, reverse transformation was induced rapidly, but the transformation was almost completed at 10 min. Damping capacity was increased up to $700^{\circ}C$, and than unchanged with the increasing annealing temperature. Damping capacity increased steeply with an increasing reverse treatment time up to 10min, whereas there were no significant change with a treatment time of more than 10 min. Damping capacity increased with an increasing the reversed austenite and was strongly affected by reversed austenite.

This study is to investigate the relationship between microstructural factors and tensile properties after aging heat treatment of the 15-5PH stainless steel at the temperature range of $450^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$ for various time. For the aging time of 2 hours, hardness showed maximum at $450^{\circ}C$ and then decreased with increasing aging temperature. While, hardness decreased gradually during aging $450^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$ from 1 hour to 5 hours but the hardness nearly unchanged until the 100 hours after 5 hours aging. When aging at $450^{\circ}C$, Cu atoms preferentially aggregated at the prior austenite grain boundaries and martensite lath boundaries, and Cu concentration at those boundaries was nearly unchanged even after aging for 100 hours. Therefore it was suggested that the coherency is still maintained after 100 hours aging at $450^{\circ}C$. Aging at $500^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$ results in an increase in the concentration of Ni at the martensite lath boundaries and prior austenite grain boundaries, resulting in the formation of reversed austenite. Especially, when aged at $550^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours, the concentration of Ni remarkably increased at those boundaries, and thus the microstructure of herring bone shape was appeared. Considering the migration of Ni atom to the lath boundaries and prior austenite grain boundaries, Ni atoms contributed greatly to the formation of reversed austenite. On the other hand, it was found that Cu atoms hardly moving to those boundaries may not be contributed to the formation of reversed austenite. When aging at $450^{\circ}C$, the coarsening of the precipitated Cu atoms proceeded very slowly with increasing aging time, therefore the decrease in strengths were small but the reduction area was considerably increased due to the softening of the matrix. At the aging temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$, the strengths decreased and the elongation and reduction area increased due to the appearance of the reversed austenite. Especially, the increase of reduction area was remarkable.

Effects of austenite on the uniform corrosion in the solution of $1\;N\;H_2SO_4$ were investigated through the electrochemical polarization test. Two phases structures of martensite and austenite were obtained by annealing treatment at the range of $500^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ for 10min. in 70% cold-rolled 202 stainless steel. Volume fraction of reversed austenite increased rapidly with an increase of annealing temperature. Uniform Corrosion was occur mainly on martensite phase in 202 austenitic stainless steel with two phase of austenite and martensite. Corrosion current density increased with an increase of volume fraction of austenite, therefore uniform corrosion was affected by volume fraction of austenite
