In this research work, the effectiveness of stainless steel sheet for the production of motor cycle exhaust muffler burn protector was investigated. Energy Dispersive X-Ray fluorescence method was used to determine the chemical composition of the stainless steel materials and exhaust muffler of the motor cycle. The stainless steel sheet was perforated and folded to frustum shape to achieve aero...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess the risk of cancer among workers employed in the Finnish ferrochromium and stainless steel industry since the beginning of production in 1967. METHODS The study cohort was made up of all persons employed by the Finnish stainless steel production chain from chromite mining to cold rolling of stainless steel during the period 1967-2004, and it was d...

Cold rolling of austenitic stainless steel results in increase of residual stresses, hardness, and tensile strength and dislocation density. We have studied the response of eddy current impedance to austenitic change, hardness and its lift off phase in stainless steels during cold reductions. A series of samples of austenitic stainless steel alloys were cold rolled and found that only percentag...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study was to investigate and compare early biofilm formation on biomaterials, which are being used in contemporary fixed orthodontic treatment. METHODS This study comprised 10 healthy volunteers (5 females and 5 males) with a mean age of 27.3 +-3.7 years. Three slabs of different orthodontic materials (stainless steel, gold and ceramic) were placed in r...

dissimilar metals friction welding of austenitic–martensitic stainless steels is commonly used in order to manufacture engine valves in the automobile industry. in this study, x53crmnnin219 (austenitic stainless steel) and x45crsi93 (martensitic stainless steel) valve steel rods were welded by friction welding process. the welded joint was then heat treated at 760 0c for 60 min. mechanical prop...

the microstructure of hp stainless steel in aged and aged + solution annealed conditions and solutionized alloy 800 was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (sem), and transmission electron microscopy (tem) equipped by eds. all phases present in the above condition were described. the effects of solution annealing heat treatment temperature on the microstructure, te...

Allegheny Ludlum Type 316Ti (UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilized version of Type 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. It is also known as DIN/EN designation No. 1.4571. The Type 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304. They also offer higher creep, stress-ru...

The effect of copper on the repassivation pits in stainless steels was examined through potentiodynamic polarization one-dimensional (1D) at two different downward scan rates for 17–4 PH steel. Post-mortem characterization tested 1D revealed that enriches pit surface, which most likely occurs reduction CuCl 3 2− inside during potential scan. diffusion analysis significant amounts replating can ...

A general method for brazing ceramics to metals using a compliant metallic foam as a buffer layer has been developed. Using stainless steel foams, bonds between alumina and 316 stainless steel with shear strengths up to 33 MPa have been achieved. The resultant ductility enhances the resistance of the joint to thermal cycling; AlN-Inconel 600 bonds exhibited good thermal shock resistance. Alumin...

Stainless steel and graphite electrodes were individually addressed and polarized at −0.60 V vs. Ag/AgCl in reactors filled with a growth medium that contained 25 mM fumarate as the electron acceptor and no electron donor, in order to force the microbial cells to use the electrode as electron source. When the reactor was inoculated with Geobacter sulfurreducens, the current increased and stabil...
