  • Austenitic steels are alloys of iron and other metals with an averaged face-centered cubic structure. This model is not meant to represent a real steel, and the selection of atom types for each Wyckoff position is arbitrary. If we set the $y_{3}=1/4$ then the atoms are on the sites of an fcc lattice.

Body-centered Cubic primitive vectors:

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a}_1 & = & - \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \mathbf{a}_2 & = & ~ \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} - \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \mathbf{a}_3 & = & ~ \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{x}} + \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{y}} - \frac12 \, a \, \mathbf{\hat{z}} \\ \end{array} \]

Basis vectors:
