Low processing temperatures allow an interstitially-hardened case to be formed on the alloy with no carbide formation [1]; a “colossal” carbon supersaturation can be achieved in austenitic stainless steels such as the 316L grade [1, 2]. In addition to the notable mechanical property improvements [3, 4], such interstitially-hardened stainless steels show surprising improvements in corrosion resi...

Metastable austenitic steels react to plastic deformation with a thermally and/or mechanically induced martensitic phase transformation. The transformation ?’-martensite can take place directly or indirectly via the intermediate stage of ?-martensite from single-phase austenite. This effect is influenced by stacking fault energy (SFE) steels. An SFE < 20 mJ/m2 known promote indirect conversi...

To elucidate the mechanisms of deformation and a state plastic stability at front Lüders bands during tensile test, metastable austenitic transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels with different dislocation densities ferritic were characterized via macroscopic-DIC-based stress–strain investigations scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A direct correlation between curves measured strain dis...

Several austenitic stainless steels suitable for high temperature applications because of their high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties were investigated as biomaterials for dental use. The steels were evaluated by electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization curves, cyclic polarization curves, measurements of open circuit potential, and linear polarizat...

Introduction. The paper considers the influence of wear on formation a “white band” in metastable austenitic, martensitic-austenitic and secondary hardening steels Cr−Mn−Ti system additionally alloyed with Mo, B, V. structure phase composition resistance sparing. Results. Surfacing studied materials was carried out copper molds different rates forced cooling. Metastable V were studied. Addition...
