Calculated shear modulus G of stainless steel alloys as a function of
the percentage of chromium (vertical axis) and of nickel (horizontal);
red corresponds to high G (
77 GPa), yellow to intermediate, and
blue to low G (
75 GPa). The authors apply a recently developed
quantum-theoretical method to study the elastic properties of a
series of Fe-Cr-Ni alloys and predict two new basic compositions.
