Some steels are designed to remove the Cottrell atmosphere effect by removing all the interstitial atoms.
2.
Cottrell atmospheres lead to formation of L�ders bands and large forces for deep drawing and forming large sheets, making them a hindrance to manufacture.
3.
Cottrell atmospheres occur in body-centered cubic ( BCC ) and face-centered cubic ( FCC ) materials, such as iron or nickel, with small impurity atoms, such as carbon or nitrogen.
