The applications of stainless steel are one of the most reliable solutions in concrete structures to reduce chloride-induced corrosion problems and increase the structures service life, however, due to high prices of nickel, especially in many civil engineering projects, the austenitic stainless steel is replaced by the ferritic stainless steels. Compared with austenite stainless steel, the fer...

Thanks to the collaboration between two laboratories, we present different techniques to measure thermal diffusivity. A brief description of any technique both in the experimental layout and in the processing algorithms is given. Results obtained on samples cut from the same block of stainless steel AISI 304, are reported. Uncertainty evaluation of any measurement is reported as well.

AISI 430 stainless steel is an attractive material to be used in the healthcare industry, particularly as a sensor due its low cost, corrosion resistance, well being Ni-free. was evaluated artificial sweat solution with presence of Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. Surface microbial analyses did not reveal colonization bacteria on metallic surfaces, even when adhesion investigated Mü...

The purpose of the tests was to determine whether and how sterilisation process of samples made of AISI 316L stainless steel with diff erent strain impacts their corrosion resistance. Tests were made on steel samples that had been electrochemically polished in order to assure proper surface roughness. In order to evaluate the infl uence of sterilisation on physical and chemical properties of st...

in this paper, dissimilar resistance spot welding of aisi 1075 eutectoid steel to aisi 201 stainless steel is investigated experimentally. for this purpose, the experiments are designed using response surface methodology and based on four-factor, five-level central composite design. the effects of process parameters such as welding current, welding time, cooling time and electrode force are inv...

The influences of ultrasonic vibration during cold metal transfer welding process on the microstructure, element distribution and pitting resistance AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel joints with ER 308L as filler were investigated. combined effects mechanical vibration, acoustic streaming cavitation significantly refined primary ferrite grain in weld then impacted subsequent solid-phase transit...
