Abstract: Steel 06Cr18Mn19Mo2N (P900N + Mo) was chosen to study the phase composition and structural transformations occurring in high-nitrogen nickel-free austenitic steels as a result of heat treatments to which they are exposed during production or operation. The methods of light and electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and dilatometric analysis were used in the work. The heat treatment scheme included hot plastic deformation, quenching and aging over a wide temperature range. It is shown that after the hot plastic deformation and quenching from 1050-1150 °С, and also after quenching with subsequent aging at 300 and 500 °С, the structure consists of austenite and isostructural matrix of nanoscale nitrides CrN. Thermal aging of steel at 700-750 °C causes the formation of Mo₂N nitrides along the grain boundaries, and at 800 °C the decomposition of austenite is accompanied by a discontinuous reaction γγ_depleted + σ with the formation of the χ-phase at prolonged exposures.

Abstract: The Bi₂(Sn_0.95Mn_0.05)₂O₇ compound existing simultaneously in two polymorphic modifications, namely, orthorhombic and cubic has been synthesized for the first time by solid-phase synthesis. The magnetic, dielectric and electrical properties of the compound have been studied. Anomalies in the temperature dependences of the electrical resistance and magnetic propoties have been found. These features are explained as martensitic phase transitions.
