in the present work the effects of plasma nitridization on the passivation behavior of aisi 316l was investigated. to do this; nitriding treatments were carried out at 420°c for 1, 2, 4 and 16 hours. the phase composition and structure of the nitrided layer were studied by low angle x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. the hardness of samples also was evaluated by vickers microha...

A contactless temperature measurement system is presented based on a hyperspectral line camera that captures the spectra in the visible and near infrared (VNIR) region of a large set of closely spaced points. The measured spectra are used in a nonlinear least squares optimization routine to calculate a one-dimensional temperature profile with high spatial resolution. Measurements of a liquid me...

In real conditions, austenitic stainless steels solidify in non equilibrium and a two phases microstructure of austenite and ferrite is formed 1 . The aim of this work was to investigate the behaviour of both phases at tensile testing, especially to find out an eventual difference in the relaxation of the deformation energy and the effect of the two phases microstructure in workability. To achi...

• Laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) fabrication of functionally graded nickel-titanium (NiTi)-AISI 316L material demonstrated. Excellent bonding between NiTi and AISI alloys controlled via complex bands multi-material layers. Phase microstructural evolution through the L-PBF settings. Multi-material phase microstructure formation/evolution mechanisms elucidated. This study evaluates additively ma...

The paper deals with the corrosion behavior of stainless steels as candidate materials for biofuel production plants by liquefaction process of the sorted organic fraction of municipal solid waste. Corrosion tests were carried out on AISI 316L and AISI 304L stainless steels at 250 °C in a batch reactor during conversion of raw material to bio-oil (biofuel precursor), by exposing specimens eithe...

Intergranular stress corrosion cracking has occurred in BWR environments in non-sensitised, cold-worked austenitic stainless steel materials. The affecting parameters are so far not fully known, but deformation mechanisms may be decisive. The effect of cold deformation and nitrogen content on the deformation behaviour of austenitic stainless steels was investigated. The materials were austeniti...
