Plastic pre-strains were applied to the metastable 304L austenitic stainless steel at both room temperature (20 °C) and higher temperatures (i.e., 50, 80 and 100 °C), and then the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) susceptibility of the steel was evaluated by cathodically hydrogen-charging and tensile testing. The 20 °C pre-strain greatly strengthened the steel, but simultaneously significantly increa...

This paper examines a few methods used in grounding analysis and illustrates the advantages, limitations, and the applicability of these methods. Computation results using these methods are presented and compared. The various cases modeled in this paper include grounding networks of different sizes, grounding networks with buried metallic structures such as steel pipes, and high frequency cases...

Metallic foams and porous materials can be produced by various methods. Among the methods that produce metallic materials, powder metallurgy is a promising method. This study investigates production of stainless steel space holder method in metallurgy. A novel i.e. glycine binder consisting polymethylmethacrylate stearic acid are used. Different amounts added to mixture stainless-steel binder. ...

In order to investigate lattice defects of 18-8 stainless steel after solution, precipitation and resolution treatments, thin films prepared from bulk specimens after the heat treatments were examined by means of transmission electron microscopy. In addition, measurements of the internal friction, specific gravity and electrical resistivity as well as Huey corrosion tests were conducted. The ex...

The new superaustenitic stainless steel UNS S32654 (Avesta Sheffield 654 SMO) is proposed for condenser tubes in desalination and power plants. A number of tests illustrating its corrosion resistance in a variety of chloride containing environments are being reviewed in terms of pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. Relevant mechanical and physical properties are described. ...

Electrochemical synthesis of poly ortho toludine (POTD) was achieved on Teflon coated cylindrical stainless steel electrodes with base diameter 2mm . Aniline in 2-propyl pentatonic acid solution was polymerized on the surface of stainless steel using cyclic voltametry technique. Adherent and red polymer films were obtained on the electrodes.. The corrosion inhibitive performance of POTD+2PPA , ...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare apical microleakage after obturation with nickel-titanium (niti) compared to stainless steel (ss) finger spreaders. materials and methods: eighty straight single-rooted human teeth were instrumented using step-back technique. the specimens were randomly divided into four groups. the two experimental groups (n=30) and the negative c...
