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...

In the present work CO2 continuous laser welding process was successfully applied and optimized for joining a dissimilar AISI 316 stainless steel and AISI 1009 low carbon steel plates. Laser power, welding speed, and defocusing distance combinations were carefully selected with the objective of producing welded joint with complete penetration, minimum fusion zone size and acceptable welding pro...

We report on the effect of femtosecond-laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on the tribological properties of stainless steel. Uniform periodic nanostructures were produced on AISI 304L (American Iron and Steel Institute steel grade) steel surfaces using an 800-nm femtosecond laser. The spatial periods of LIPSS measured by field emission scanning electron microscopy ranged from 530...

Sol-Gel coatings are a good choice for protection and bioactivation of metals used as dentistry and standard surgical implant materials. These films should both prevent degradation of the substrates by wear or corrosion, and bioactivate the material for inducing the formation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) rich layer onto the material surface, thereby permitting a natural bonding to living tissues. T...

Complex two-component peak of anelastic mechanical losses was observed in multicomponent substitutional austenitic alloys after prior plastic deformation. In AISI 316L, AISI 316LN, AISI 310 and AISI 304 austenitic stainless steels, this peak is situated in the wide range of temperature from 200 to 400K. Characteristics of the observed peak for different thermo-mechanical treatments were studied...

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...

behaviors of stress corrosion cracking (scc)in martensitic stainless steel(aisi 420) and low carbon austenitic stainless steel (aisi 316l) have been compared under different conditions of temperature, environment (mgcl2), and strain rate. the results show that decreasing strain rate has detrimental effect on mechanical properties of both steels, including their strength and ductility. fractogra...

The present work is concentrated with the dry turning of AISI 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel (ASS). This paper presents the influence of cutting parameters like cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the surface roughness of austenitic stainless steel during dry turning. A plan of experiments based on Taguchi’s technique has been used to acquire the data. An orthogonal array, the signal t...

The effect of several Almen intensities of shot peening on the corrosion behavior, surface roughness, micro hardness profiles, and residual stresses of stainless steel AISI 316 L were investigated. Hydroxyapatite coating (HA) were applied to shot peened materials to improve their corrosion resistance. The corrosion behaviour were studied using potentiodynamic polarization. The electrochemical t...

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 ...
