Nowadays, Ni-free austenitic stainless steels are being developed rapidly and high price of nickel is one of the most important motivations for this development. At present research a new FeCrMn steel was designed and produced based on Fe-Cr-Mn-C system. Comparative studies on microstructure and high temperature mechanical properties of  new steel and AISI 316 steel were done. The results ...

Localised-in-the-edge oxidation of four AISI 430 alloys was investigated after an industrial bright annealing process. The oxidised surface each specimen characterised by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman-spectroscopy and SEM. results showed that the selective Cr Mn took place at coil edges 430. This led to formation oxide scale based on Cr2O3 MnCr2O4. On other hand, Cr(OH)3 MnOOH i...

The conclusions of an experimental program involving altered tensile strength and microstructure of stainless compressor valve steel are described. The paper presents the results of measurements of ductility, corrosion resistance, bending fatigue strength and damping. Encouraging indications have been achieved concerning the possibilities to further improve the characteristics of current materi...

in the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (pemfcs), low corrosion resistance and high interfacial contact resistance (icr) are two controversial issues in usage of aisi 316l stainless steel as a metallic bipolar plate. for solving these problems, investigation and development of different coatings and/or surface treatments are inevitable. corrosion behavior and icr of aisi 316l specimens c...
