Austenitic stainless steels are extensively used in various applications requiring good corrosion resistance and formability. In the current study, the formation of nano/ ultrafine grained austenitic microstructure in a microalloyed AISI 304L stainless steel was investigated by the advanced thermomechanical process of reversion of strain-induced martensite. For this purpose, samples were subjec...

An original simplified finite element model is proposed to simulate the effects of non-penetrating ballistic impacts causing so-called bullet splash phenomenon (complete fragmentation), while no fragmentation caused target. The based on Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulation (ALE) and it simulates impact as a fluid-structure interaction. has been tested by experimental analyses AISI 304L pla...

The present research investigates the influence of surface roughness imparted by cold finishing processes on localized corrosion resistance stainless steel. Five different alloys were studied: ferritic AISI 430, martensitic 430F, austenitic 303, 304L, and 316L. It was demonstrated that grinding process, executed previously drawn bars, leads to an improvement in according results obtained with e...

Abrasive waterjet machining is applied in various industries for contour cutting of heat-sensitive and difficult-to-cut materials like austenitic stainless steel 304L, with the goal ensuring high surface integrity efficiency. In alignment this manufacturing aspiration, experimental analysis optimization were carried out on abrasive 304L objectives minimizing roughness maximizing material remova...
