In the present study, the corrosion behavior of AISI 347 austenitic stainless steel to ASTM A335 low alloy steel dissimilar joint was investigated. For this purpose, two filler metals, ER309L and ERNiCr-3, were selected to be used during the gas tungsten arc welding process. To investigate the corrosion behavior of the joints after welding, the specimens were tested in 3.5% sodium chloride solu...

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 corrosion resistance of type 304L and 316 austenitic stainless steels in 2M H2SO4 at 0-1.5%NaCl concentrations was studied through potentiodynamic polarization technique and optical microscopy analysis. The corrosion rate, pitting potential, passivation potential and surface morphology of both steel where significantly altered by the Clion concentration, alloy composition and metallurgical ...

in this paper, the nucleation and growth of diamond/diamond-like coatings on austenitic (aisi 316) and ferritic (aisi 430) stainless steel substrates have been investigated using torch technique. the effects of substrate surface preparation has also been studied. the quality of coatings produced has been examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, raman spectrosc...

iii Abstract: High manganese TWIP (TWinning Induced Plasticity) steels are particularly attractive for automotive applications because of their exceptional properties of strength combined with an excellent ductility. However, as austenitic steels, they appear to be sensitive to liquid zinc embrittlement during welding, the liquid zinc arising from the melted coating due to the high temperatures...

The corrosion inhibition of AISI309 austenitic stainless steel by 2,2'-Bipyridyl in 0.5M H 2 SO 4 at 298K was studied using the mass loss’ method, the potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel), the linear polarization (LRP) and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed a mixed inhibition mode and an increase in the charge transfer resistance, due to inhibitor molecules’ ad...

The microstructure of 8 mm diameter wire produced by the severe deformation of 316L austenitic stainless steel has been examined using TEM and X-ray diffraction. The deformation imparted amounts to a true strain of 6.3. Data from previous studies on strain induced transformation of this steel have been combined with new results to show that true strains .2 are required in order to observe mecha...

one of the problems in the case of stainless steels is their low corrosion resistance against pitting corrosionin chloride containing environments, thereby leading to severe damage to industries. in this research, the pitting corrosion of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied in 3.5% nacl solution at room temperature (25˚c) by performing electrochemical measurements (containing cyclic pola...

in this study, the changes in microstructure of hp-nb cast heat resistant steel after 8 years of service at high temperatures were investigated. study of microstructure using optical microscopy (om) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometry (eds) showed that the microstructure of this steel in as-cast condition includes an austenitic matrix, and that...

In the present work CO2 continuous laser welding process was successfully applied and optimized for joining a dissimilar AISI 316 stainless steel and AISI 1009 low carbon steel plates. Laser power, welding speed, and defocusing distance combinations were carefully selected with the objective of producing welded joint with complete penetration, minimum fusion zone size and acceptable welding pro...
