Documentation

Get started

austenite is a stack of probabilistic engineering tools. The fastest path: pick a flow, run it, scan the confidence badges, stamp the result. The agent tabs your decisions back into a single transcript you can audit.

1.

Open the console

Pick a flow on the left. Inputs → Run → Result.

2.

Check the confidence badge

GREEN = stamp-eligible. YELLOW = review before stamping. RED = blocked unless overridden with justification.

3.

(Optional) Connect your AI key

The agent uses your key, called directly from your browser. austenite.org never sees it.

4.

Stamp the verdict

Hash-chained PDF with replay manifest + RFC 3161 timestamp + verbatim cited clauses.

Engineering guides

Short, cited explainers of the methods behind the calculators — the governing equations, where they break down, and a link straight to the live tool.

CALPHAD phase diagrams

How Gibbs-energy minimization computes equilibrium phase diagrams.

CO₂ corrosion rate

de Waard–Milliams and NORSOK M-506 for sweet corrosion of carbon steel.

The H₂S threshold, SSC severity regions and hardness limits.

Pourbaix (E–pH) diagrams

Immunity, corrosion and passivation from thermodynamics.

Galvanic corrosion

The series, the critical area ratio, and how to stop it.

Sensitization & IGC

Cr-carbide depletion, weld decay and L/stabilized grades.

Larson–Miller creep life

The time–temperature parameter, the constant C, and master curves.

Deformation-mechanism maps

Ashby–Frost fields: glide, power-law and diffusional creep.

Carbon equivalent & preheat

CE, Pcm and CET — predicting HAZ hardening and setting weld preheat.

Schaeffler / DeLong / WRC-1992

Predicting stainless weld microstructure and Ferrite Number.

Rainflow & Miner fatigue

Cycle counting, S–N curves, mean-stress correction and damage summation.

Paris law crack growth

ΔK, the da/dN curve and integrating to remaining life.

Multiaxial fatigue

Equivalent-stress vs critical-plane (Findley, Fatemi–Socie, SWT).

API 579 fitness-for-service

Assessment levels, the Remaining Strength Factor and the FAD.

Charpy → K_IC

Rolfe–Novak–Barsom, transition-region and Master Curve methods.

Ductile–brittle transition

The Charpy transition curve, DBTT criteria and what shifts them.

Jominy hardenability

Hardenability vs hardness, the end-quench test and D_I.

TTT & CCT diagrams

The C-curve nose, Ms line and critical cooling rate.

ASME VIII-1 shell thickness

UG-27 hoop/longitudinal formulas, joint efficiency and MAWP.

Pipe pressure drop

Darcy–Weisbach, Reynolds number and the friction factor.

HTHA & Nelson curves

API 941 limits for steel in hot high-pressure hydrogen.

Weibull reliability

Shape β, the bathtub curve, B10 life and MTTF from failure data.

Privacy + key handling

Your AI provider key lives in your browser’s localStorage only. When the agent runs, your browser builds the request and sends it directly to the provider. austenite.org is not in the request path at all. See privacy for the full account.
