Italian term or phrase: acciai inossidabili austenitici
Le elevate proprieta meccaniche ad alta temperatura, tipiche spacialmente degli acciai inossidabili AUSTENITICI, li rendono pero candidati anche all'impiego negli elementi portanti delle strutture (travi, colonne) laddove la resistenza al fuoco e un fattore premiante.

austenitic stainless steels
Explanation:
Austenitic stainless steels have high ductility, low yield stress and relatively high ultimate tensile strength, when compare to a typical carbon steel.
A carbon steel on cooling transforms from Austenite to a mixture of ferrite and cementite. With austenitic stainless steel, the high chrome and nickel content suppress this transformation keeping the material fully austenite on cooling (The Nickel maintains the austenite phase on cooling and the Chrome slows the transformation down so that a fully austenitic structure can be achieved with only 8% Nickel).
