Superhydrophobic coatings were fabricated through a one-step electrochemical process onto the surface of 316L stainless steel samples. The presence hierarchical structures at micro/nanoscale and manganese stearate into gave superhydrophobicity to coating, with contact angle ~160°, self-cleaning ability. Corrosion resistance samples was also assessed after electrodeposition Electrochemical Imped...

In the paper, by using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputter technology, HfC coating grew on a 316L stainless steel substrate in an Ar atmosphere at various bias voltages from 0 to −200 V. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments, coatings were well crystallized (111) preferential growth had been successfully obtained controlling voltage Nanoindentati...

Stainless steel, which is used in metallic bipolar plates, generally known to have excellent corrosion resistance, achieved by forming oxide films. However, localized occurs when the films are destroyed pH and chloride ions. Particularly, since operating condition of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) strongly acidic, reduced stability leads stainless steel. In this research, elec...

In industrial rolling, changes in strain rate and temperature occur with strain during passes, and between one pass and the next. Plane strain compression testing has been used with ramped changes in strain rate during deformation, and with changes in strain rate between two deformations to study their effects on flow stress. No systematic deviations from a mechanical equation of state were fou...

A split Hopkinson pressure bar is used to investigate the dynamic mechanical properties of biomedical 316L stainless steel under strain rates ranging from 1 × 10(3) s(-1) to 5 × 10(3) s(-1) and temperatures between 25°C and 800°C. The results indicate that the flow stress, work-hardening rate, strain rate sensitivity, and thermal activation energy are all significantly dependent on the strain, ...
