Abstract
The effects of cobalt content on the stacking fault probability ( P_sf) determined by means of X-ray diffraction profile analysis and associated with the starting temperature of $\gamma\to\epsilon$ transformation ( M_S) and the strain-hardening exponent ( n) etc, have been investigated in Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni based alloys with four different contents of Co from 0.39% to 3.93% (wt). The results show that Ms and n increase with increasing Co content which is related to the increase of the stacking fault probability owing to the addition of cobalt. Addition of proper content of cobalt in Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni alloy can improve its SME.
