In spite of excellent corrosion resistance, good ductility and low cost of AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel, the low hardness and poor mechanical charecteristic of material restricts its applicability in several industrial services. To improve upon mechanical properties AlFeCuCrCoNi-WC10 high-entropy alloy coatings were deposited via laser cladding on austentic stainless steel AISI 316 subst...

Zeolite-based honeycomb rotors have been successfully used for VOC capture in various industries due to advantages of low pressure drop, fast response temperature swing desorption and outstanding adsorption characteristics. However, the high cost fragile nature ultrathin ceramic fiber paper assembling carrier created issues its commercial applications. Herein, a novel based on stainless-steel w...

The use of microplastics is a global issue that affects the environment, economy and human health. Here we describe superhydrophobic 304 stainless steel obtained by combining chemical etching PDMS modification. Among other techniques, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HR-XPS) were used to identify hierarchical structure as wel...

This study demonstrates the anti-Staphylococcus aureus properties of stainless steel surfaces coated with zeolite containing 2.5% silver and 14% zinc ions. Stainless steel panels with and without the heavy-metal-containing coatings were inoculated with S. aureus and incubated at room temperature. Survival of S. aureus was significantly reduced by the silver/zinc coatings within 1 h. Many hospit...

AIM The purpose of this investigation was to determine the kinetic frictional resistance offered by stainless steel and Titanium bracket used in combination with rectangular stainless steel wire during in vitro translatory displacement of brackets. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study. Brackets: (All brackets used had a torque of - 7° and an angulation of 0°): (1) Dynalock (Unitek) 0.018'' slo...

In passive scattering proton therapy, patient specific collimators (apertures) are used to laterally shape the proton beam, and compensators are employed to distally conform proton dose to the target. Brass is a commonly used material for apertures and recently a hybrid brass/stainless-steel (BR/SST) aperture design has been introduced to reduce treatment cost without clinical flow change. We m...

Stainless steels have good corrosion resistance in many environments but welding or aging can decrease their resistance. This work focused on the effect of aging time and ultrasonic nano-crystal surface modification on the passivation behavior of 316L stainless steel. In the case of slightly sensitized 316L stainless steel, increasing the aging time drastically decreased the pitting potential, ...

over the last two decades, many researchers have developed a variety of stainless steel-based medical implant types,taking full advantage of nanostructuring technologies. in this paper the application, fabrication and development of nanostructured stainless steel based materials with new composition for medical implants will be discussed. it is well established that application of severe plasti...

Highly oriented LiFePO4 thin-film electrodes were fabricated via chemical solution deposition combined with spin coating. The effects of the precursor concentrations and types of substrates on microstructures and electrochemical performances were studied. Single-phase LiFePO4 with orientations perpendicular to the (211)/(020) and (311) planes prepared using stainless steel as substrate presents...

The austenitic stainless steel was coated by dipping into a molten Al-12.4%Si alloy at 765oC. The effect of immersion times in the range of 60 to 900 s was investigated with respect to the phase nature, thickness, and microhardness. An uniform layer (~12 m) of Al12(Fe,Cr)3Si2 intermetallic with hexagonal crystalline structure is formed, irrespectively the immersion time. Microhardness of the c...
