Y Studies on Austenitic Stainless Steels

چکیده
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 found to be confined to a very thin layer close to the fracture surface. The magnitudes of the residual stress (trr) as well as the profile breadth (B) as a function of Km~x in martensite were found to be higher than in austenite, with greater differences in SS 304 than in SS 316. In both the steels a gradual decrease of trr with depth below the fracture surface was noticed. While a gradual decrease of B was noticed in SS 304, a shallow minimum was noticed at a depth of about 100 am in SS 316. Copyright © 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The combined effect of molybdenum and nitrogen on the fatigued microstructure of 316 type austenitic stainless steel
Introduction The mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steels, including the low cyclic fatigue behavior have been a subject of numerous studies [1-8]. Nitrogen addition, in general, increases the fatigue strength by decreasing the stacking fault energy of austenitic stainless steels [6]. The stacking fault energy has a strong influence on the cross slip difficulty, thus it affects the ...

Highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels are promising candidates to replace more expensive nickel-based alloys within the energy-producing industry. The present study investigates the deformation mechanisms by microstructural characterization, mechanical properties and stress–strain response of three commercial austenitic stainless steels and two commercial nickel-based alloys using uniaxial...
متن کاملModelling simultaneous precipitation reactions in austenitic stainless steels
A physical model has been developed for simultaneous precipitation reactions in austenitic stainless steels, taking into account interactions between phases. Comparisons against experimental results show satisfying agreement, with the model successfully predicting the existence of transient phases that are often observed, but not predicted in equilibrium calculations. An analysis of σ -phase ki...
متن کاملAtomic-scale decoration for improving the pitting corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steels
Stainless steels are susceptible to the localized pitting corrosion that leads to a huge loss to our society. Studies in the past decades confirmed that the pitting events generally originate from the local dissolution in MnS inclusions which are more or less ubiquitous in stainless steels. Although a recent study indicated that endogenous MnCr2O4 nano-octahedra within the MnS medium give rise ...
