  • Austenitic steels are alloys of iron and other metals with an averaged face-centered cubic structure. This model represents one approximation for an austenite steel. If we set $y_{3} = 1/4$, the atoms are on the sites of an fcc lattice.

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}- \frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{z}} \end{array}\]
