Abstract:

Stainless steel cladding is the formation of an alloy by creating a thin layer of stainless steel on another metal. In this research, a layer of SA240-TP316 austenitic stainless steel was coated on SA516-GR60 steel. Experiments were conducted to compare the mechanical properties of SA240-TP316 and claded SA516-GR60 steel welds in order to investigate the possibility of replacing the SA240-TP316 steel alloy. Examining the results of the chemical analysis of SA240-TP316 alloy shows that the coating has a similar chemical composition to SA240 alloy and with increasing depth, the hardness of the weld metal and the percentage of chromium is higher and the percentage of molybdenum in the weld alloy is lower. Comparing the ultimate strength of SA516 alloy after cladding and welding with SA240 stainless base alloy shows the improvement of tensile strength. In the first case, the strength changes in the range of 470 to 503 MPa and in the second case in the range of 477 to 570 MPa. The highest hardness was obtained in the heat affected area. Bending test showed that bending without cracking up to 180 degree angle is a sign of weld metal remaining ductile. The results of the impact test also show the ability to absorb energy, especially around the voltage of 150 volts.

Stainless Steel Type 316Ti

Allegheny Ludlum Type 316Ti (UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilized version of Type 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. It is also known as DIN/EN designation No. 1.4571. The Type 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304. They also offer higher creep, stress-ru...

Mechanical Properties of Austenitic Stainless Steel Made by Additive Manufacturing

Using uniaxial tensile and hardness testing, we evaluated the variability and anisotropy of the mechanical properties of an austenitic stainless steel, UNS S17400, manufactured by an additive process, selective laser melting. Like wrought materials, the mechanical properties depend on the orientation introduced by the processing. The recommended stress-relief heat treatment increases the tensil...

Investigation of microstructures and mechanical properties of dissimilar welds between Incoloy 825 and 316 stainless steel

In this study, microstructural features and mechanical properties of Incoloy 825-316L stainless steel dissimilar joints have been investigated. For this purpose, pulsed gas tungsten arc welding method was employed and 316L, Inconel 82 and Inconel 625 alloys were used as filler metal. First, specimens were cut. Pulsed gas tungsten arc welding was performed using peak and base currents of 220 A a...

Microstructure, Mechanical and Corrosion Properties of Friction Stir Welding High Nitrogen Martensitic Stainless Steel 30Cr15Mo1N

High nitrogen martensitic stainless steel 30Cr15Mo1N plates were successfully welded by friction stir welding (FSW) at a tool rotation speed of 300 rpm with a welding speed of 100 mm/min, using W-Re tool. The sound joint with no significant nitrogen loss was successfully produced. Microstructure, mechanical and corrosion properties of an FSW joint were investigated. The results suggest that the...
