Abstract By ultrasonic methods, we determined the elastic constants between 295 and 4 K of nominally Fe-18Cr-8Ni alloys (in wt%) containing up to 6% manganese. We report five elastic constants:C 1 = longitudinal modulus,B = bulk modulus,E = Young modulus,G = shear modulus, and v = Poisson ratio. At all temperatures, manganese lowers all these elastic constants. With the exception of v, larger reductions occur at 4 K than at 295 K. At 4 K, the bulk modulus decreases more than the shear modulus: approximately 0.54 and 0.30% per per cent manganese, respectively. Manganese raises the magnetic-transition temperature, which occurs between 40 and 90 K, by approximately 9 K per per cent manganese. A simple model predicts the volume increase accompanying Mn alloying. However, a simple model fails to predict the elastic-constant reductions; this suggests magnetic interatomic interactions.
