Rapid solidification of a high-phosphorus austenitic steel produces a fine cellular solidification structure containing an amorphous phase at the cell walls. The amorphous phase, which is stable to ∼500°C, is enriched in phosphorus and chromium, but contains significantly less phosphorus than conventional glass-forming alloys. Hot consolidation of powders produces a chemically-uniform metastable austenite which can be effectively precipitation hardened by phospho-carbides.
