It has been clarified that deformation and annealing of martensite starting structure can produce ultrafine-grained structure in low carbon steel.  This study aims to investigate the texture evolution and mechanical properties of samples with martensite structure deformed by two different forging processes. The martensitic steel samples were forged by plane strain compression and multi-directio...

The aim of this work is to determine the fatigue life of 316L stainless steel. The mechanisms of fatigue of 316L stainless steels were investigated and discussed. The fatigue tests were carried out at constant-amplitude cyclic loading with load ratio R=0.1. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is then used to examine the fracture surface. The results show that the fatigue limit of 316L stainless ...

INTRODUCTION Intravascular coronary stenting has been used in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), with a major limitation of in-stent restenosis (ISR). The 316 stainless steel has been widely used for coronary stents. In this study, we developed a novel coating method to reduce ISR by simultaneously coating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and anti-CD34 antibody on 316L sta...

The evaporation of inertial confinement fusion first wall materials from unattenuated pellet X-rays and from radiation emitted by a cavit.y buffer qas is examined. The low vapor pressure and low X-ray attenuation coefficient of carbon give it a lower erosion rate than stainless steel, despite the larger thermal conductivity of Type 316 stainless steel. For the argon buffer gas containing 0.2% N...
