aisi 304l austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensiticprocess. corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5m hcl solution using open circuitpotential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. also, the correlationbetween the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was asses...

Metastable austenitic stainless steel was investigated during fatigue tests under strain control with either constant total or plastic amplitude. Two different material conditions coarse-grained and ultrafine-grained microstructure were in focus. The influence of the test on both martensitic phase transformation as well lives is discussed. In addition, an approach for calculating Coffin–Manson–...
