The study comprises evaluation of suitability of passive layer created on the surface of AISI 316L stainless steel for products that are intended to have contact with blood. For that purpose, prior to and after chemical passivation, samples were subject to 7 day exposure in artificial plasma at the temperature of T=37°C. Next, tests of metallic ions infiltration from the surface to the solution...

Deep cold rolling (DCR) and low plasticity burnishing (LPB) process are cold working processes, which easily produce a smooth and work-hardened surface by plastic deformation of surface irregularities. The present study focuses on the surface roughness and surface hardness aspects of AISI 4140 work material, using fractional factorial design of experiments. The assessment of the surface integri...

Corrosion is one of the major problems in the industry especially on machinery since it weakens the structure of the machinery part and causes the mechanical failure. This will stop the production and increase the maintenance cost. In this study, the corrosion behaviour of gas nitriding on a screw press machine shaft made from AISI 4140 steel was investigated. Pitting corrosion was identified a...

A high quality joint between tool steel and stainless steel alloys is hard to achieve with the conventional welding process. In this study, a new process of joining semi-solid AISI D2 tool steel and AISI 304 stainless steel using a partial remelting method is proposed. Metallographic analysis and Vickers hardness tests were performed. The results obtained from investigating the basic geometries...

INTRODUCTION Contaminated sponges might lead to cross-contamination in kitchens since they can transfer microorganisms to surfaces where microorganisms can survive for hours or days and contaminate food. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the transfer and the survival of bacteria from kitchen sponges to surfaces of AISI 316 stainless steel and polyethylene. METHODOLOGY Twenty-fo...

This paper presents a series of tests on cold-formed stainless steel bolted connections. The test specimens were fabricated from three different types of stainless steel, including austenitic stainless steel EN1.4301 (AISI 304) and EN1.4571 (AISI 316Ti having small amount of titanium) as well as lean duplex stainless steel EN1.4162 (AISI S32101). The material properties of the three types of st...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze, with the aid of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the chemical and structural changes in metal brackets subjected to an in vitro biodegradation process. Methods: The sample was divided into three groups according to brackets commercial brand names, i.e., Group A = Dyna-Lock, 3M/Unitek (AISI 303) and Group B = LG standard edgewise, American...

در صنعت پالایشگاه و پتروشیمی‌ها به دلیل وجود تجهیزات تمام فلزی محیط اسیدی خوردگیتنشی زیاد است با توجه افزایش کاربرد فولادهای زنگ نزن این صنایع پژوهش بررسی اثر ضربات امواج اولتراسونیک بر رفتار خوردگی فولاد 316 (S.S 316) می‌پردازیم. هدف از تأثیر روش تنش‌زدایی برافزایش مقاومت قطعات محیط‌های خورنده است. لازم ذکر که، تنش پسمان نمونه‌ها جوش‌کاری ایجادشده ابتدا نمونه مدنظر استفاده ارتعاش تحت فرکانس 20...
