Magnetic Properties of Metastable 304 Stainless Steel with Bcc Structure

Ordinary 304 stainless steel has a fcc structure and is non-magnetic at room temperature. By using a vapor quenching method, we have fabricated single-phase metastable bcc 304 stainless steel which is strongly ferromagnetic with a magnetization of 130 emu/g and a Curie temperature in excess of 550 OC. Upon subsequent annealing above 550 OC, the metastable bcc state transforms back into the usua...

Structural behavior of cold-formed stainless steel bolted connections

This paper presents a series of tests on cold-formed stainless steel bolted connections. The test specimens were fabricated from three different types of stainless steel, including austenitic stainless steel EN1.4301 (AISI 304) and EN1.4571 (AISI 316Ti having small amount of titanium) as well as lean duplex stainless steel EN1.4162 (AISI S32101). The material properties of the three types of st...

Relaxation Peaks of Cold Worked 304l Stainless Steel

In this investigation internal friction of cold worked 304L austenitic stainless steel was measured and the new peaks (PlIP2,P3) were found. The height of those peaks increased with cold work degree. The temperature of the main peak P3 was 33513340K at the frequency of -1,000Hz. The activation energies and frequency factors were obtained from peak shift. The values were 0.4evl 0.4evl 0.6ev and ...

A New Maraging Stainless Steel with Excellent Strength–Toughness–Corrosion Synergy

A new maraging stainless steel with superior strength-toughness-corrosion synergy has been developed based on an innovative concept of alloy design. The high strength-toughness combination is achieved by forming dispersive nano-sized intermetallic compounds in the soft lath martensitic matrix with a slight amount of residual austenite. The good corrosion resistance is guaranteed by exactly cont...
