Functionally graded October 14 2013 austenitic-martensitic steels consist of austenite γ and martensite M phases placed on each Accepted 9 February 2014 Available online other in different configurations and produced via Electro Slag Remelting ESR . The boundary 12 February 2014 layers properties are obtained by experimental investigation on single phase materials. Finally Keywords the theoretical model is compared with the experimental results measured in the temperature Hot deformation range 1000-1200 C and strain rate s-1 and a good agreement is found.

Introduction Mechanical behavior of materials under elastic and plastic deformation creep fracture fatigue deserves a great interest in the scientific community and many of researchers work on these topics. Torabi and Aliha 2013 developed a guideline for approving the railway axles made of C35 steel and containing surface and or in-body defects after manufacturing. First they modelled several .
