Introduction The mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steels, including the low cyclic fatigue behavior have been a subject of numerous studies [1-8]. Nitrogen addition, in general, increases the fatigue strength by decreasing the stacking fault energy of austenitic stainless steels [6]. The stacking fault energy has a strong influence on the cross slip difficulty, thus it affects the ...

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...

Niobium coatings deposited by magnetron sputtering were evaluated as a possible surface modification for stainless steel (SS) substrates in biomedical implants. The Nb coatings were deposited on 15 mm diameter stainless steel substrates having an average surface roughness of 2 μm. To evaluate the biocompatibility of the coatings three different in vitro tests, using human alveolar bone derived ...

Type 316L stainless steel particles were pseudo-sensitized by being heated at 700 degrees C for 100 h under a reduced pressure of 1.3 x 10(-3) Pa. Pseudo-sensitization treatment resulted in the formation of chromium-rich precipitates at the outermost surfaces of the stainless steel particles. The curve for the apparent surface charge density (sigma app) of the pseudo-sensitized particles showed...

Additive manufacturing of Duplex Stainless Steels (DSS) and Super (SDSS) has been successfully demonstrated using LPBF in recent years, however, both alloys feature an almost fully ferritic microstructure the as-built condition due to fast cooling rates associated with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process. Blends DSS SDSS powders were formulated austenitic stainless-steel 316L powder, aiming ...

response modification factor (r-factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to consider nonlinear performance of building structures during strong earthquake. relying on this, many seismic design codes led to reduce earthquake loads imposed to the structure. the present paper tries to evaluate the r-factors of conventional concentric braced frames (cbfs) and special moment frames (mrfs) in ...

the effect of chloride ions concentration on the electrochemical behavior of aisi 410 stainless steel in thesimulated concrete pore (0.1 m naoh + 0.1 m koh) solution was investigated by various electrochemicalmethods such as potentiodynamic polarization, mott–schottky analysis and electrochemical impedancespectroscopy (eis). potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that increasing chloride ...
