Induction hardening serves as one of the best mass production processes used recently due to its ability quickly generate high-intensity heat in a well-defined location part. Numerous advantages this method make it reliable technique produce thin martensite layer on part surface that has compressive residual stresses. In regard, presented study is devoted investigating utilizing induction heati...

Implantation using stainless steels (SS) is an example where an understanding of protein-induced metal release from SS is important when assessing potential toxicological risks. Here, the protein-induced metal release was investigated for austenitic (AISI 304, 310, and 316L), ferritic (AISI 430), and duplex (AISI 2205) grades in a phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) solution containing eith...

The effects of different laser shock peening (LSP) impacts on the three-dimensional displayed distributions of surface and in-depth residual stress at a laser spot of AISI 304 stainless steel were investigated by X-ray diffraction technology with the sin2φ method and MATLAB 2010a software. Microstructural evolution in the top surface subjected to multiple LSP impacts was presented by means of c...

The aim of this paper was to study the effects of die life through shot peening treatments on AISI H13 steel, and tests were performed to study the influential parameters of the shot peening process. To evaluate the effects of microstructure and the die life of AISI H13 steel after steel shot peening processes, we conducted and evaluated roughness tests, micro hardness and wear tests, and SEM m...

Soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has been used to study the influence of Si ion implantation on the passive layer of AISI 304 stainless steel, as well as on its high-temperature oxidation behaviour. Ion implantation is a usual technique to improve the corrosion and oxidation resistance of steels. To study the effects of ion implantation on the room temperature corrosion behavior of AISI...

The strength of sheathed wall systems is substantially greater than unsheathed walls with the same studs. Testing on studs sheathed on both sides with dry gypsum board demonstrate strength increases as large as 70% over unsheathed studs (Miller and Peköz 1993, Miller and Peköz 1994). The current AISI Specification for sheathed wall stud systems are complicated, only apply when the sheathing is ...

In this research work, investigations are carried out on Continuous Wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser welding system after preliminary experimentation to understand the influencing parameters associated with laser welding of AISI 304. The experimental procedure involves a series of laser welding trials on AISI 304 stainless steel sheets with various combinations of process parameters like beam power, beam...
