Theoretical Analysis for Solidification Cracking Susceptibility in Type 316FR Stainless Steel Laser Welds

Effect of grain size on solidification cracking susceptibility of type 347 stainless steel during laser welding

Measurement of local creep properties in stainless steel welds

A high temperature measurement system for creep deformation based on the digital image correlation (DIC) technique is described. The new system is applied to study the behaviour of a multi-pass welded joint in a high temperature tensile test and a load controlled creep test at 545°C. Spatially resolved tensile properties and time dependent creep deformation properties across a thick section typ...

Fourier Analysis of Ultrasonic TOFD Signals for Defect Detection in Austenitic Stainless Steel Welds

Non Destructive testing of structural materials is an important activity in many industries. Ultrasonic NDT is one such method widely used in this field. Pulse Echo and Through Transmission are conventional testing techniques which use reflected and transmitted sound energy respectively. But these techniques are highly dependent on defect orientation. Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is a rece...

Stainless Steel Type 316Ti

Allegheny Ludlum Type 316Ti (UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilized version of Type 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. It is also known as DIN/EN designation No. 1.4571. The Type 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304. They also offer higher creep, stress-ru...
