    Why sigma phase is formed in stainless steel?

    Ans:

    Sigma phase (σ) is a chromium/molybdenum-rich intermetallic phase found in the Fe-Cr-Mo


    system, which occurs when the material dwells or slow cools through the temperature range of
    550- 1050°C. Thermodynamically, it is possible for this phase to form in standard AISI
    316 stainless steel.
