alloy steel: significance, grades and applications

Significance and applications of sea cucumber

Sea cucumber is an important component of the food chain in temperate ecosystems and coral reefs and plays an important role as a poultry eater and has antiviral, anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties in addition to oral administration and in the pharmaceutical industry. It has many uses. This creature swallows sediment on the bottom of aquaculture ponds and is in fact considered as a natural p...

Classification of Rust Grades on Steel Surfaces

Selecting most representative features among a huge feature set is considered in this paper. One feature extraction and five feature selection algorithms are tested on features obtained form steel surfaces. Two new feature selection algorithms are introduced in this paper. Performance measure for feature selection algorithms is also introduced as a new method to select the best performing featu...

Analysis of welding in comparable steel grades

Monotonic and Cyclic Behavior of DIN 34CrNiMo6 Tempered Alloy Steel

This paper aims at studying the monotonic and cyclic plastic deformation behavior of DIN 34CrNiMo6 high strength steel. Monotonic and low-cycle fatigue tests are conducted in ambient air, at room temperature, using standard 8-mm diameter specimens. The former tests are carried out under position control with constant displacement rate. The latter are performed under fully-reversed strain-contro...

Comparative MRI compatibility of 316 L stainless steel alloy and nickel-titanium alloy stents.

The initial success of coronary stenting is leading to a proliferation in peripheral stenting. A significant portion of the stents used in a clinical setting are made of 316 low carbon stainless steel (SS). Other alloys that have been used for stent manufacture include tantalum, MP35N, and nickel-titanium (NiTi). The ferromagnetic properties of SS cause the production of artifacts in magnetic r...

Alloy Steel: Properties and Use First-Principles Quantum Mechanical Approach to Stainless Steel Alloys

Accurate description of materials requires the most advanced atomic-scale techniques from both experimental and theoretical areas. In spite of the vast number of available techniques, however, the experimental study of the atomic-scale properties and phenomena even in simple solids is rather difficult. In steels the challenges become more complex due to the interplay between the structural, che...
