austenitic stainless steel sheets have gained wide acceptance in the fabrication of components, which require high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance such as metal bellows used in expansion joints in aircraft, aerospace and petroleum industries. in the case of single pass welding of thinner sections of this alloy, pulsed current micro plasma arc welding (pcmpaw) has been found bene...

turning of hardened steels using a single point cutting tool has replaced the cylindrical grinding now as it offers attractive benefits in terms of lower equipment costs, shorter set up time, fewer process setups, higher material removal rate, better surface quality and elimination of cutting fluids compared to cylindrical grinding. in order to obtain desired surface quality by machining, prope...

the aim of this paper is to characterize welding of aisi 310 austenitic stainless steel to inconel 657 for use in oil-refining industries. the welds were produced using four types of filler materials; nickel-based alloys designated as inconel 82, a, 617, and 310 ss. the interfaces and heat-affected zones were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy. interfaces on the two sides...

as the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel aisi 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. in this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

This paper describes an experimental investigation on machining of a difficult-to-cut material, AISI D2 steel of hardness 62 HRC with PCBN tools. It was found that the most feasible feeds and speeds fall in the ranges 0.08–0.20 mm/rev and 70–120 m/min, respectively and that most of the tested PCBN tools reached the end of life mainly due to flank wear. The highest acceptable values of tool life...

The polarisation characteristics of the electropolishing process in a magnetic field (MEP – magnetoelectropolishing), in comparison with those obtained under standard/conventional process (EP) conditions, have been obtained. The occurrence of an EP plateau has been observed in view of the optimization of MEP process. Up-to-date stainless steel surface studies always indicated some amount of fre...

By a improved front light-source framing photography technique and a simple fragments soft recovered method, the expansion and fracture behaviour of the AISI 1045 steel cylinders loaded by three different brisance explosives have been studied . Cylinders were heat treated-normalized and quenched and tempered. Experimental results show that the more intensive of the loading ,the stronger capabil...

the current work was carried out to characterize welding of aisi 310 austenitic stainless steel to inconel 657 nickel-chromium superalloy. the welds were produced using four types of filler materials; the nickel-based corresponding to inconel 82, inconel a, inconel 617 and austenitic stainless steels 310. of the two joints involved, this paper describes the choice of welding consumables for the...
