The objectives of the NGV (Next Generation Vehicle) Project were to demonstrate that stainless steel can be used to reduce weight and costs, and to improve safety and sustainability in structural automotive systems. The deliverables include enabling technologies, virtual technology for design and development, processing and testing. The compilation of the results as well as aspects such as new ...

the austenitic stainless steel (ss) has been used as a material for  building  ultra  high  vacuum  (uhv)  chamber.  recently significant  efforts  have  been  concerned  a  comparing  the standard  cleaned  for  ultra  high  vacuum,  passivity  stainless. in  this work austenitic  nanocomposites were  synthesize by sol-  gel method. the morphologies  and  topographies  of  the samples  have  b...

Simulation results from using the cellular automata as an example of defects on the surface of austenitic stainless steel 08Cr18Ni10Ti are presented in this paper. Practical confirm the feasibility of the proposed method for simulation modeling of corrosive process of steel in neutral environments.

This work focuses on the ultrasonic characterization and hardness of Austenitic stainless steel in thermal variation. The sample which was heat treated at 1050 o C has the highest hardness value and plays a dominant role in dispersion of carbides. Shear wave velocity and hardness show similar trend in variation with temperature. The effect of volume expansion would be to decrease the elastic co...

The monotonic and cyclic deformation behavior of ultrafine-grained metastable austenitic steel AISI 304L, produced by severe plastic deformation, was investigated. Under monotonic loading, the martensitic phase transformation in the ultrafine-grained state is strongly favored. Under cyclic loading, the martensitic transformation behavior is similar to the coarse-grained condition, but the cycli...

Crystallization of cast iron has been shown to be a nanostructured process. Austenitic-graphite eutectic is formed from and graphite nanocrystals, free atoms. Austenitic-cementite atoms iron-carbon complexes. Primary austenite microcrystals are

In some austenitic stainless steel welds grains orientations cause deviation and splitting of the ultrasonic beam. It is especially true in the case of multipass welds when the remelting process after each pass causes complex solidification process. With the new model MINA (Modelling anisotropy from Notebook of Arc welding) we show that we are able to predict thoroughly grains orientations. Thi...

in the present study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the dissimilar welding betweenastm a335 low alloy steel and er309l austenitic stainless steel were investigated using the gastungsten arc welding process. the welding of dissimilar materials between astm a335 low alloy steeland er309l austenitic stainless steel was found to have a significant effect on the microstructure when...

Low processing temperatures allow an interstitially-hardened case to be formed on the alloy with no carbide formation [1]; a “colossal” carbon supersaturation can be achieved in austenitic stainless steels such as the 316L grade [1, 2]. In addition to the notable mechanical property improvements [3, 4], such interstitially-hardened stainless steels show surprising improvements in corrosion resi...

In the present work an experimental-numerical approach is used to study the thermo-mechanical behaviour of NiTi wire for defining what parameters are the most important in actuator designing. Tests were carried out heating, by an electrical current, a wire having a diameter of 150 m, under constant stresses of 200 MPa. Data concerning strain, applied current and voltage are acquired during the ...
