Corrosion Performance and Tribological Properties of Carbonitrided 304 Stainless Steel

Micro abrasion-corrosion of AISI 316L stainless steel

In this study, the synergistic effects of abrasion and corrosion on AISI 316L stainless steel have been investigated using a micro-abrasion test rig. A series of results from abrasioncorrosion tests conducted using the micro-abrasion rig are presented. AISI 316L stainless steel has been studied under both pure abrasion and abrasion-corrosion conditions simulated by either distilled water or 3.5...

Regression analysis of shot peening process for performance characteristics of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel

The surface fibers of the material are yielded in tension by the impact of shots in shot peening process. Below the surface fiber an even thin skin surface layer of material is deformed and this layer is highly stressed in compression. It results in the improvement of surface and mechanical properties of the material. Regression analysis is the statistical modeling technique, and it is suitable...

IMPROVING PITTING CORROSION OF 304 STAINLESS STEEL BY ELECTROPOLISHING TECHNIQUE

Several surface modification techniques such as ion implantation, surface laser melting, have been employed to improve pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Electropolishing is a technique in which the surface roughness is eliminated through a selective electrochemical dissolution. The effect of electropolishing on pitting corrosion of 304 stainless steel (SS) was investigated employ...
