The dynamic behavior of three high manganese steels with very different stacking faultenergy (SFE) values (4-30 mJ/m2) were studied using high strain rate torsional tests. The hotrolledmicrostructure of the steel with the lowest SFE of 4 mJ/m2 consisted of a duplex mixture ofaustenite and ε-martensite, but those of the other two steels were fully austenitic. The deformedmicrostructures were stu...

Twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels with high manganese percentage (17-35%), are mostly used in automotive bodies. Their microstructure at room temperature is austenitic, and due to the low stacking fault energy, major deformation mechanism in them is twinning inside austenite grains which leads to enhanced mechanical strength in the steel. Due to the important effect of heat treatment pr...

To avoid the toxic effect of released nickel ions and compounds from conventional stainless steels, nickel-free austenitic stainless steels have been developed. We previously established a new manufacturing process to produce nickel-free austenitic stainless steel that involves nitrogen adsorption treatment. Although the cytocompatibility of nickelfree austenitic stainless steel produced using ...

Cold rolling of austenitic stainless steel results in increase of residual stresses, hardness, and tensile strength and dislocation density. We have studied the response of eddy current impedance to austenitic change, hardness and its lift off phase in stainless steels during cold reductions. A series of samples of austenitic stainless steel alloys were cold rolled and found that only percentag...

The present paper analyzes the effect of low aluminum additions and hot forging process on microstructure non-metallic inclusions high manganese steels. Four high-manganese steels (HMnS) were obtained by adding contents 1.1 1.5 wt. % in four medium carbon austenitic (0.3 - 0.4 wt% C) with 17 22 Samples as-cast forged to 1100 ?C obtain a whole reduction 70 %. microstructural evolution was studie...

In this paper, application of ultrasonic techniques for defect detection in weldments of austenitic stainless steel and maraging steel is discussed. Applications of ultrasonic techniques for characterizing microstructural changes in AISI type 316 stainless steel and modified 9Cr-1Mo ferritic steel; thermomechanical processing of 15Cr-15Ni-2.3Mo-titanium modified austenitic stainless steel (allo...
