Machinability of Stainless Steels

Low-Temperature Carburization of Austenitic Stainless Steels

LOW-TEMPERATURE CARBURIZATION is a gaseous carburization process performed at atmospheric pressure, at temperatures where the kinetics of substitutional diffusion are very slow. Low-temperature carburization hardens the surface of austenitic stainless steels through the diffusion of interstitial carbon, without the formation of carbides. The surface must be activated, by modification and remova...

Development of Alumina-Forming Austenitic Stainless Steels

This paper presents the results of the continued development of creep-resistant, alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) stainless steel alloys, which exhibit a unique combination of excellent oxidation resistance via protective alumina (Al2O3) scale formation and high-temperature creep strength through the formation of stable nano-scale MC carbides and intermetallic precipitates. Efforts in fiscal ye...

Super Plasticity of /α Duplex Stainless Steels

In this paper the studies of the two-phase super Plasticity stainless steels is studied. The aim of this study obtained the suitable criteria to thermo-mechanical treatment condition for decrease the microstructure (grain size) and super plasticity property in two-phase stainless steels. Also here we want to show the appropriate ranges of temperature and strain rate used in the process super pl...

Y Studies on Austenitic Stainless Steels

Abstract--In this investigation, the fracture surfaces of SS 304 and SS 316 austenitic steels were analysed using the X-ray fractography technique. In both cases, a decrease in the austenite content was observed at the fracture surface as a result of deformation induced martensite, indicating a linear relation with Km~ within the stable crack growth region. The presence of this martensite was f...
