Abstract:

In this paper, the influence of heat treatment on PH17-7 stainless steel spring was evaluated. Precipitation hardening phenomenon of  PH 17-7 steel was evaluated in three stages. First, the spring constant changes with time and temperature was evaluated. Second, the spring constant changes with respect to its original length at constant temperature and time with blocking (spring length after compression, 18 and 21 mm) were investigated.  And finally, the spring heat treatment at 480 °C for 80 min and then holding at 230 °C in oil bath for 60 min without blocking were investigated. The results showed that the use of 18 mm block have large spring constant than 21 mm block. The optimal conditions (480°C for 80 min) for this spring to reaching maximum spring constant were determined.

Hot Deformation Behavior of 17-7 PH Stainless Steel

To investigate the hot deformation behavior of 17-7 PH stainless steel, hot compression tests were carried out at the temperatures of 950, 1050 and 1150 oC and strain rates of 0.001 s-1 to 0.1 s-1. Accordingly, the hot working behavior was studied by the analyses of flow stress curves, work hardening rate versus stress curves, exponent- type constitutive equations and deformed microstructures. ...

Application of 17-7 Precipitation-hardenable Stainless Steel in Dentistry.

Several alloys described as stainless steel which resist tarnish and corrosion in the mouth are being used for a variety of dental appliances and instruments. Probably the greatest application of stainless steel is for orthodontic arch wires and bands, while a more limited use is for temporary space maintainers and crown forms. Root-canal files and reamers designed for endodontic operations als...

Effect of ageing heat treatment on corrosion behaviorof 17-4 PH stainless steel in 3.5% NaCl

The 17-4PH alloy is a martensitic stainless steel with 3–5 wt% Cu, strengthened by the precipitation hardening. Due to excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and ease of heat treatment, this alloy has unique applications in nuclear power plants and marine constructions. In this paper, the influence of ageing heat treatment, solution annealing followed by ageing at 480, 550 and 62...

Colossal Carbon Supersaturation of Delta Ferrite in 17-7 PH Stainless Steel

Low processing temperatures allow an interstitially-hardened case to be formed on the alloy with no carbide formation [1]; a “colossal” carbon supersaturation can be achieved in austenitic stainless steels such as the 316L grade [1, 2]. In addition to the notable mechanical property improvements [3, 4], such interstitially-hardened stainless steels show surprising improvements in corrosion resi...
