Surface composition and near-surface hardness studies on high dose boron-implanted 304 stainless steel

Surface modification of ion-implanted AISI 304 stainless steel after oxidation process: X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis

The influence of implanted Si, Mo and Ce vs. the as-received austenitic AISI 304 stainless steel has been studied after isothermal oxidation in air at 900 8C for 32 h. The oxide layer formed was characterised by means of conventional X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopyyenergy-dispersion spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques. The projected ranges of the impl...

Compressibility of 304 Stainless Steel Powder Metallurgy Materials Reinforced with 304 Short Stainless Steel Fibers

Powder metallurgy (P/M) technique is usually used for manufacturing porous metal materials. However, some P/M materials are limitedly used in engineering for their performance deficiency. A novel 304 stainless steel P/M material was produced by a solid-state sintering of 304 stainless steel powders and 304 short stainless steel fibers, which were alternately laid in layers according to mass rat...

Chemical Surface Treatment of Stainless Steel

Factors Affecting Friction Coating on Stainless Steel 304

Low carbon steels are widely used for structural applications because of its ease in fabrication and the moderate strength it posses. However, its pure corrosion resistance at normal atmosphere is a matter of serious concern.

The Effect of Low Dose-Rate Irradiation on the Microstructure of 304 Stainless Steel*

Changes in mechanical and corrosion properties caused by the development of radiationinduced microstructure have relevance to the aging and lifetime extension of light water reactors (LWR’S). However, much of the current data related to microstructural development in irradiated metals are generated from studies carried out at much higher dose-rates than encountered in LWR’S. An opportunity exis...
