One of the critical issues for the application of iron aluminide coatings is the loss of Al from the coating into the Fe-base substrate alloys which do not contain aluminum. The interdiffusion behavior between chemical vapor deposited (CVD) aluminide coatings and ferritic and austenitic substrates is being studied for times up to 10,000h in the temperature range of 500-800oC. Coatings were synt...

The comprehension of the anisotropy impacts on mechanical properties of the rolled steel sheets was investigated using a non-quadratic anisotropic yield function. In this study, experimental and modelling determination regarding the behaviour of an industrial rolled sheet for a ferritic stainless low-carbon steel were carried out. The parameters of the associated yield equation, derived from th...

Ferritic stainless steels have been widely used to substitute austenitic because of their lower cost and higher deep drawing capacity. However, failures, such as shear fracture, observed in parts with small radii during the process applications where both bending stretching occurs. Conventional techniques, failure criterion consideration, finite element method, forming limit diagram, are unable...
