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 ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference between tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding of austenitic stainless steel assisted by microparticle oxides and that assisted by nanoparticle oxides. SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ were used to investigate the effects of the thermal stability and the particle size of the activated compounds on the surface appearance, geometric shape, angular distortion, d...

The austenitic stainless steel was coated by dipping into a molten Al-12.4%Si alloy at 765oC. The effect of immersion times in the range of 60 to 900 s was investigated with respect to the phase nature, thickness, and microhardness. An uniform layer (~12 m) of Al12(Fe,Cr)3Si2 intermetallic with hexagonal crystalline structure is formed, irrespectively the immersion time. Microhardness of the c...

Implantation using stainless steels (SS) is an example where an understanding of protein-induced metal release from SS is important when assessing potential toxicological risks. Here, the protein-induced metal release was investigated for austenitic (AISI 304, 310, and 316L), ferritic (AISI 430), and duplex (AISI 2205) grades in a phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) solution containing eith...

The load partitioning between the two phases in a cold rolled duplex stainless steel sheet have been experimentally studied in situ during loading, via X-ray diffraction, for different loading directions. The microstresses in the two phases were found to decrease when loading in the transverse direction, while they increase during loading in the rolling and 45°-direction. Due to strong crystall...

Nowadays, Ni-free austenitic stainless steels are being developed rapidly and high price of nickel is one of the most important motivations for this development. At present research a new FeCrMn steel was designed and produced based on Fe-Cr-Mn-C system. Comparative studies on microstructure and high temperature mechanical properties of  new steel and AISI 316 steel were done. The results ...

austenite is a semi-stable phase in most stainless steels that deforms to martensite under md30 and forms martensitetype ά and ε due to the deformation in the steels. since the distribution of strain induced martensite plays animportant role in achieving desired properties, the main objective of the present work is to model martensitedistribution of ά during cold rolling using finite element me...

Orthodontic mechanotherapy encompasses the use of several archwires during speci c stages of treatment. Metallic orthodontic appliances consist of bands, arch wires, ligature wires, hooks, tubes, brackets, and springs are daily used in orthodontic practices for the correction of malocclusions in patients ( Oh et al. , 2004 ; Verstrynge et al. , 2006 ; Sabane et al. , 2009 ). One of the most im...
