one of the problems in the case of stainless steels is their low corrosion resistance against pitting corrosionin chloride containing environments, thereby leading to severe damage to industries. in this research, the pitting corrosion of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied in 3.5% nacl solution at room temperature (25˚c) by performing electrochemical measurements (containing cyclic pola...

in this paper, the nucleation and growth of diamond/diamond-like coatings on austenitic (aisi 316) and ferritic (aisi 430) stainless steel substrates have been investigated using torch technique. the effects of substrate surface preparation has also been studied. the quality of coatings produced has been examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, raman spectrosc...

This paper reveals the interaction between hydrogen and surface stress in austenitic stainless steel by X-ray diffraction stress measurement and thermal desorption analysis before and after being charged with hydrogen. The surface residual stress was varied by surface finishing using several disc polishing agents. The obtained results show that the residual stress near surface had a significant...

Austenitic carbon steels that exhibit excellent mechanical properties due to the twinning-induced plasticity effect have been studied extensively. On the other hand, austenitic stainless steels usually achieve good strength and ductility via transformation-induced plasticity. However, relying on martensite transformation for strength may cause problems such as delayed cracking. Therefore, the t...

Abstract: The investigation is carried out to characterize welding of AISI 310 austenitic stainless steel to Inconel 657 nickel-chromium superalloy. The welds were produced using four types of filler materials: the nickel-based corresponding to Inconel 82, Inconel A, Inconel 617 and austenitic stainless steel 310. This paper describes the effects of aging treatment on the joint. The compara...

The corrosion resistance of type 304L and 316 austenitic stainless steels in 2M H2SO4 at 0-1.5%NaCl concentrations was studied through potentiodynamic polarization technique and optical microscopy analysis. The corrosion rate, pitting potential, passivation potential and surface morphology of both steel where significantly altered by the Clion concentration, alloy composition and metallurgical ...

in the present study, the corrosion behavior of aisi 347 austenitic stainless steel to astm a335 low alloysteel dissimilar joint was investigated. for this purpose, two filler metals, er309l and ernicr-3, were selected to be used during the gas tungsten arc welding process. to investigate the corrosion behavior of the joints after welding, the specimens were tested in 3.5% sodium chloride solut...

AE monitoring from various types of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) has been conducted for the past 15 years in our laboratory. This paper discusses AE results of active-path dissolution-type SCC of austenitic stainless steel in chloride solution and fused salt, fluoride and polythionic acid solutions, brass in ammonia (Mattosson's solution), and carbon steels in nitrite solution. Transgranular...

in the present study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the dissimilar welding betweenastm a335 low alloy steel and er309l austenitic stainless steel were investigated using the gastungsten arc welding process. the welding of dissimilar materials between astm a335 low alloy steeland er309l austenitic stainless steel was found to have a significant effect on the microstructure when...
