This study is focused on isothermal and anisothermal precipitation of M23C6 carbides from the fully ferritic structure (γ + δ) austenitic-ferritic duplex stainless steel X2CrNiMo2253, (2205). During heat treatments, small particles K-M23C6 carbide precipitates at δ/δ grain-boundaries. Their formation precedes γ σ-phases, by acting as highly potential nucleation sites, confirming undertaken TEM ...

In sheet metal forming (SMF), deformation is caused by the relative movement between and tool, which generates friction forces. However, materials behave differently during plastic deformation. this study, a tribo-simulator was designed to investigate effect of different contact conditions or formability tests on tribological behavior AISI 304 430 stainless-steel sheets. The effects texture mic...

A generalized phase transformation kinetics model is used to understand the martensite to austenite transformation in a cold-rolled and annealed metastable AISI 301LN ultrafine-grained austenitic stainless steel. The model shows that the presence of interstitial nitrogen and heavy cold-rolling is important to promote fast transformation kinetics, through rapid nitrogen-diffusion and austenite n...

The demand for components made from high performance materials like titanium or nickel-based alloys as well as strain-hardening stainless steel is steadily increasing. However, conventional forming operations conducted on these materials are generally very laborious and time-consuming. This is where the limitations of metal spinning also become apparent. Using a laser to apply heat localized to...

the current work was carried out to characterize welding of aisi 310 austenitic stainless steel to inconel 657 nickel-chromium superalloy. the welds were produced using four types of filler materials; the nickel-based corresponding to inconel 82, inconel a, inconel 617 and austenitic stainless steels 310. of the two joints involved, this paper describes the choice of welding consumables for the...

The data presented in this article is related to the research experiment, titled: 'Quasi in-situ energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy observation of matrix and solute interactions on Y-Ti-O oxide particles in an austenitic stainless steel under 1 MeV Kr2+ high temperature irradiation' (Brooks et al., 2017) [1]. Quasi in-situ analysis during 1 MeV Kr2+ 520 °C irradiation allowed the same microst...

Abstract In the present study, gas tungsten arc welding was employed to weld Ti-stabilized 439 ferritic stainless steel using 308L austenitic filler electrode with varying heat input, i.e., low input (LHI) and high (HHI). The optical microstructure revealed formation of retained austenite (RA) ferrite in zone (WZ), whereas peppery structure consisting chromium-rich carbides were observed heat-a...

the mechanical properties and microstructural developments of 321 stainless steel during thermomechanicalprocess were investigated. the repetitive cold rolling and subsequent annealing wereconducted 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 byannealin...

behaviors of stress corrosion cracking (scc)in martensitic stainless steel(aisi 420) and low carbon austenitic stainless steel (aisi 316l) have been compared under different conditions of temperature, environment (mgcl2), and strain rate. the results show that decreasing strain rate has detrimental effect on mechanical properties of both steels, including their strength and ductility. fractogra...
