Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 155501 (2002) [4 pages]Elastic Property Maps of Austenitic Stainless SteelsReceived 17 October 2001; published 27 March 2002 The most recent advances in theory and methodology are directed towards obtaining a quantitative description of the electronic structure and physical properties of alloy steels. Specifically, we employ ab initio alloy theories to map the elastic properties of austenitic stainless steels as a function of chemical composition. The so generated data can be used in the search for new steel grades, and, as an example, we predict two basic compositions with outstanding properties among the austenitic stainless steels. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
