In this work, the fatigue behaviour of 316 stainless steel is studied with different critical plane models. Seven cylindrical samples were used for study, being subjected to complex loading paths, generating combined stresses along axial and transversal sample directions, these being: individual stress, hoop alternating a proportional combination non-proportional L-shaped square-shaped stress. ...

The{Poly4-Nicotinamido-4-Oxo-2-Butenoic Acid's}, which serves as an anti-corrosion layer, was produced by electropolymerized the {4-Nicotinamido-4-Oxo-2-Butenoic Acid's} monomer onto 316-grade steel material. The polymer's structure and characteristics were evaluated using SEM, cyclic voltammetry, other techniques. corrosion resistance of stainless steel, both uncoated coated in a corrosive med...

Investigations on flexural and tensile properties of GFRP laminates influenced by stainless steel wire reinforcement were carried out as a novel approach. Plain GFRP laminates and GFRP laminates reinforced with stainless steel wires at different depth with various pitch distances were fabricated by hand layup method. The composite specimens reinforced with steel wires were exposed to low freque...

A new research program has begun at UNLV in accelerator transmutation of waste. Lead Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) has been proposed for use in programs for accelerator transmutation of waste. The LBE acts both as a coolant and as a sputtering target. We have recently initiated a program to investigate the corrosion of steels by LBE. Corrosion products and chemical reactions will be identified using U...

Occupational asthma (OA) can be induced by fumes of manual metal-arc welding on stainless steel. In recent years, the use of special stainless steels (SSS) with high chromium content has increased. This study presents two cases of OA caused by manual metal-arc welding on SSS. In both cases, the diagnosis of OA was based on respiratory symptoms, occupational exposure and positive findings in the...

An experimental model was proposed to study biofilm formation by Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19117 on AISI 304 (#4) stainless steel surface and biotransfer potential during this process. In this model, biofilm formation was conducted on the surface of stainless steel coupons, set on a stainless steel base with 4 divisions, each one supporting 21 coupons. Trypic Soy Broth was used as bacterial g...

BACKGROUND Although stainless steel has been produced for more than a hundred years, exposure-related mortality data for production workers are limited. AIMS To describe cause-specific mortality in Finnish ferrochromium and stainless steel workers. METHODS We studied Finnish stainless steel production chain workers employed between 1967 and 2004, from chromite mining to cold rolling of stai...

Bronization and carburization of fine-grain superplastic stainless steel is reviewed, and new experimental results for fine grain Ti88.5Al4.5V₃Fe₂Mo₂ are reported. In superplastic duplex stainless steel, the diffusion of carbon and boron is faster than in non-superplastic duplex stainless steel. Further, diffusion is activated by uniaxial compressive stress. Moreover, non-superplastic duplex st...
