High mechanical performance of AISI304 stainless steel plate by surface nanocrystallization and microstructural evolution during the explosive impact treatment

Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Ultrafine/nano Structured AISI 321 Stainless Steel Produced by Thermo-mechanical Processing

The mechanical properties and microstructural developments of 321 stainless steel during thermomechanical process were investigated. The repetitive cold rolling and subsequent annealing were conducted to achieve nanocrystalline structure in an AISI 321 stainless steel. Heavily cold rolling at −20°C was conducted to form martensite in metastable austenitic steel. The process was followed by anne...

Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Type 304 L Stainless Steel Processed in Semi-Solid State

The paper discusses the effect of semi-solid processing on the microstructural evolution and mechanical property of 304L stainless steel. For the study, steel specimens were part ially melted and cooled to room temperatures in different cooling medium. The effect of temperature, t ime and cooling medium on microstructural evolution was studied by using optical microscopy. It was found that melt...

Microstructural Evolution of X45CrNiW189 Valve Steel During Hot Deformation

The hot compression tests were carried on X45CrNiW189 valve steel (X45) in the temperature range of 1000– 1200 °C and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperature softening behavior of this steel. For the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effective strain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. On the basis of experi...
