Vacuum brazing of 316L stainless steel based on additively manufactured and conventional material grades

Vacuum Brazing of Zirconium-Based Alloy and 321 Stainless Steel Using Titanium Based Filler Metal

Both Zirconium-based alloys and 321stainless steel are widely used as engineering alloys due to their good mechanical properties. Conventional fusion welding techniques for Zr alloys and stainless steel are not feasible due to the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds such as (Zr3Fe, ZrFe2 and Zr2Fe) and corrosion cracking. Brazing is one of the most wide...

Nickel-chromium-based Amorphous Brazing Foils for Continuous Furnace Brazing of Stainless Steel

Characterization of CrN/TiN PVD Coatings on 316L Stainless Steel

In order to further enhance tribological properties 316 Low carbon stainless steel (L SS) used on mechanical parts. CrN/TiN with DC magnetron sputtering sources was carried out on PVD 316 L SS. The micro structure of the CrN/TiN coatings were investigated by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and tribology properties were investigated on a Pin on Disc friction and wear ...

Biomaterial Studies on AISI 316L Stainless Steel after Magnetoelectropolishing

The polarisation characteristics of the electropolishing process in a magnetic field (MEP – magnetoelectropolishing), in comparison with those obtained under standard/conventional process (EP) conditions, have been obtained. The occurrence of an EP plateau has been observed in view of the optimization of MEP process. Up-to-date stainless steel surface studies always indicated some amount of fre...

Corrosion and Tissue Reaction to MP35N, L605 & 316L Guide Wires in Combination with a Conventional 316L Cannulated Stainless Steel Screw

INTRODUCTION: Cannulated screws, along with guide wires, are commonly used for a variety of orthopedic indications. Typically they are used for fractures in cancellous regions. Breakage or bending deformation of the guide wire is a clinical concern. Therefore it would be advantageous to use Co-Cr alloys such as MP35N and L605 in these applications as the occurrence of breakages and bendings wou...
