Properties of As-casted High Nitrogen Steel for Core of Over-head Transmission Line

가공 송전선 강심용 고질소강 주조재의 제특성

As-casted high nitrogen alloys (Fe-25%Mn-12%Cr-1%Ni) have been investigated to study core material. Nitrogen concentration in molten alloys was increased with increasing the square root of nitrogen gas pressure in melting chamber. This result can be explained by Sievert's law. Nitrogen that dissolved as a interstital solid solution element in austenite stainless steel increased lattice parameter and hardness. Electric resistivity($\rho$) was increased with increasing nitrogen concentration and was about $80{\mu}{\Omega}cm$ at room temperature. Coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the nitrogen steel was about $22{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$.
