The chemical composition, nanostructure and electronic structure of nanosized oxide scales naturally formed on the surface of AISI 316L stainless steel microfibres used for strengthening of composite materials have been characterised using a combination of scanning and transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray, electron energy loss and Auger spectroscopy. The analysis reveal...

In this study, three different vegetable-based cutting fluids developed from raw and refined sunflower oil and two commercial types (vegetable and mineral based cutting oils), were carried out to determine for thrust force and surface roughness during drilling of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel with HSSE tool. The uses of vegetable cutting oils was investigated in reducing thrust force and ...

Original scientific paper Stress measurement by using ultrasonic waves is based on acoustoelasticity law, i. e. the relation between stress and wave velocity in engineering materials. Longitudinal critically refracted (LCR) wave is a popular ultrasonic wave in the ultrasonic stress measurement application. The LCR wave is a bulk longitudinal wave that travels within an effective depth underneat...

Metallic composite coatings with ceramic particles can be used to improve the mechanical and corrosion properties of steel. In the present research, Ni-ZrO2-TiO2 composite coating was fabricated on AISI 430 stainless steel through the electrodeposition method. The effect of the current density of electroplating (15, 17, 20, and 23 mA.cm-2)was investigated on the...

AISI 301 stainless steel is a frequently used metal, especially in high temperature demands and or in part with high corrosion risk. Thin spring steel plates can be used as expansions of heat furnaces insulation and variety of all other springs. The present study has assessed the effects of temperature and thermal treatment time span on the microstructure of stainless steel 301 to achieve elast...
