Magnetic Properties of Metastable 304 Stainless Steel with Bcc Structure

Ordinary 304 stainless steel has a fcc structure and is non-magnetic at room temperature. By using a vapor quenching method, we have fabricated single-phase metastable bcc 304 stainless steel which is strongly ferromagnetic with a magnetization of 130 emu/g and a Curie temperature in excess of 550 OC. Upon subsequent annealing above 550 OC, the metastable bcc state transforms back into the usua...

Effect of nitriding temperature on the nanostructure and corrosion properties of Nickel coated 304 stainless steel

Nickel films of 150 nm thickness were deposited on 304 stainless steel and post annealed under flow of nitrogen at different temperatures. The prepared samples were corrosion tested in 1.0 M H2SO4 solution using potentiodynamic polarization technique. Crystallographic and morphological structure of the samples were analysed by X-ray diffraction XRD and atomic force microscopy AFM respectively b...

Micro Laser Welding of AISI 430 Ferritic Stainless Steel: Mechanical Properties, Magnetic Characterization and Texture Evolution

In the present work, a high power Nd:YAG laser has been employed to weld AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel thin sheets. Optical microscopy was used to study the microstructural evolutions during laser welding. Tensile test and microhardness measurement were employed in order to investigate the mechanical behaviors of welds. Also, vibrational sample magnetometry was used for characterizing magne...

Isothermal and cyclic oxidation behavior of AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel coated with titanium

In order to improve the oxidation resistance of ferritic stainless steel, it is possible to deposit a protective coating on steel substrate. In this research through the usage of pack cementation method a coating of titanium was applied on the surface of AISI 430 stainless steel. Scanning Electron-Microscopy (SEM), Energy- Dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were us...
