1) Aluminium addition as a solute in high-Mn austenitic steels improves resistance to hydrogen-induced embrittlement and is related to stacking fault energy. Al increases the stacking fault energy of austenite. This in turn leads to reduced tendency for mechanical twinning and the elimination/suppression of deformation induced martensite. These details are given in the paper (may be useful): "Effect of aluminium on hydrogen-induced fracture behaviour in austenitic Fe–Mn–C steel", Joo Hyun Ryu, Sung Kyu Kim, Chong Soo Lee, Dong-Woo Suh, H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia, Proceeding of The Royal Society A, 2012, DOI: 10.1098/rspa.2012.0458 and please see the link if you have access:- http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/469/2149/20120458
