BACKGROUND In vitro mechanical studies have demonstrated equal or superior fixation of pediatric femoral fractures with use of titanium elastic nails as compared with stainless steel elastic nails, and the biomechanical properties of titanium are often considered to be superior to those of stainless steel for intramedullary fracture fixation. We are not aware of any clinical studies in the lite...

A Gleeble thermo-mechanical simulator was used to simulate the welds of duplex stainless steel S32101. micro-precipitate chromium-nitride and its surroundings in simulated analyzed detail by SEM/AES EC-AFM. The AES analysis revealed that a chromium-depleted area is present γ phase near chromium-nitrides precipitated at α/γ grain boundary. EC-AFM observation preferentially dissolves from area.

Within the framework of a systems approach, the design of a high performance stainless steel integrated processing/structure/property/performance relations with mechanistic computational models. Using multicomponent thermodynamic and diffusion software platforms, the models were integrated to design a carburizable, secondary-hardening, martensitic stainless steel for advanced gear and bearing a...

Current stainless steel design codes, like the Eurocode 3, part 1.4, (2006), are still largely based on analogies with carbon steel structural behavior. The net section rupture represents one of the ultimate limit states usually verified for structural elements submitted to normal tension stress. An investigation aiming to evaluate the tension capacity of carbon and stainless steel bolted struc...

Recent advancements in metal fibers have introduced a promising new type of stainless steel fiber with high stiffness, high failure strain, and a thickness < 100 μm (<0.00394 in.) that can be utilized in a steel fiber-reinforced polymer. However, stainless steel is known to be susceptible to pitting corrosion. The main goal of this study is to compare the impact of corrosion on the mechanical p...

the present article considers the nd:yag pulsed laser welding of 304 stainless steels with two different compositions. the effects of various laser operational parameters and cooling rates on the weld microstructures were considered. the results show that ferritic solidification is produced in the stainless steel with the creq/nieq ratio of 1.7, and austenitic solidification is produced in the ...

The high alloying degree of Duplex stainless steels makes them susceptible to the formation of intermetallic phases during their exposure to high temperatures. Precipitation of these phases can lead to a decreasing of the corrosion resistance and sometimes of the toughness. Starting from the advantages of the synergic Metal Active Gas (MAG) pulsed welding process, this paper analyses the struct...

Hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of 2707 hyper duplex stainless steel (HDSS) were investigated through hot compression tests in the temperature range of 900–1250 ◦C and strain rate range of 0.01–10 s−1. The results showed that the flow behavior strongly depended on strain rate and temperature, and flow stress increased with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature....

Numerous apex locator studies have been performed. Generally, they use only stainless-steel hand files for testing purposes. Today many clinicians use both stainless-steel and nickel-titanium files during the treatment of a case. Given the widespread use of nickel-titanium files, a comparison of the accuracy in determining length with an apex locator using stainless-steel and nickel-titanium fi...
