Based on engineering bionics, samples of bionic non-smooth surfaces of stainless steel 0Crl 8Ni9 were manufactured in the form of reseau structure by laser multiple processing. The mechanical properties (including microhardness, residual stress, surface roughness) and microstructure of the samples treated by laser multiple processing were compared with those of the samples without LSP The results show that the mechanical properties of these samples by laser multiple processing were clearly improved in comparison with those of the samples without LSP The mechanisms underlying the improved surface microhardness and surface residual stress were analyzed, and the relations between hardness, comnressive residual stress and roughness were also presented.展开更多

The effects of nitrogen on the properties of the steels were analyzed. The results of the tensile and corrosion tests show the strength,the ductility,and the pitting corrosion resistance of S13 -4N are higher, lower and poorer than those of S13 -6 respectively, when tempered at a temperature below 550 ℃and vice versa when the tempering temperature is higher than 550℃. The results of the X-ray diffraction （XRD） and the electron backscattered diffraction （EBSD） analyses reveal that inversed austenite appears at 550℃ and the amount of it peaks at 600 ℃ with the best ductility. And the total amount of the inversed austenite in S13 -6 is more than that in S13 -4N in different forms. Nitrogen performs better in terms of stabilizing inversed austenite while nickel is more favorable for forming inversed austenite, the amount and stability of which affect the ductility remarkably. The reason for the embrittlement of S13 -4N at 450℃ can be the result of carbide and nitride precipitating at grain boundaries.展开更多

The effect of increasing the solubility of boron element in the austenitic matrix favours the hardness enhancement by 8.54%.High boron stainless steel has excellent wear resistance in corrosive environment.Lifetime of transfer pipe made of high boron-containing stainless steel is 1.5-1.8 times longer than that of boron-free 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel.展开更多

The brazing alloys were fabricated into filler foils by a rapidly-solidifying technique. It was found that, to acquire a suitable liquidus temperature of the filler alloy, the addition of Cu-Ti binary alloy decreased the needed amount of Si and B, and it had an effect on improvement in mechanical properties of the brazed joints. Based on the results of melting and wettability experiments, one filler metal was used to join stainless steel at 1 140 ℃ for 15 min. The rnicrostructure of the joint was analyzed by means of a scanning electron microscope （SEM） equipped with X-ray energy- dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）. It was found that the typical joint was mainly composed of solid solution with a small quantity of Cr-rich borides strips, Ti-rich boride blocks and Cu-rich silicide particles. The brazed joints show an average tensile strength of 270. 8 MPa and an average impact toughness of 35.6 J/cm^2.展开更多

The results show that the microstructure of the tempered steel is mainly composed of tempered martensite, retained austenite, and delta ferrite. In the case of samples tempered from 500 to 700℃, the precipitates are mainly M23C6, which precipitate along the lath martensite boundaries. The precipitate content increases with the tempering temperature. During the tempering process, the content of retained austenite initially increases and then decreases, the maximum content of retained austenite being 29 vol.% upon tempering at 600℃. TEM analysis of the tested steel reveals two morphology types of retained austenite. One is thin film-like retained austenite that exists along the martensite lath boundary. The other is blocky austenite located on packet at the boundary and the original austenite grain boundary. To further understand the stability of reversed austenite, the Ni content in reversed austenite was measured using STEM. Results show a significant difference in nickel concentrations between reversed austenite and martensite.展开更多

Accumulated experiences have shown that high Ti and A1 contents led frequently to severe toughness deterioration. To elucidate this phenomenon, four heats with various Ti and Al contents were prepared in laboratory-scale melts, which were used to investigate the inherent embrittlement nature. The results have shown that 550 ℃ aging led only to a modest toughness reduction, whereas, aging around 475 ℃ resulted in ferrite embrittlement, regardless of Ti, A1 levels. However, high Ti, A1 levels reduced the austenite phase, which, in the case of its inferior shape and distribution due to insufficient hot deformation, failed to resist cleavagetype cracks initiated in the ferrite phase. Increasing hot-forged areas reduction could modify the shape and distribution of austenite, resulting in the enhanced resistance of the austenite to the cleavage-type cracks, which have been confirmed to be beneficial for brittlement suppression of 1Cr21Ni5Ti duplex stainless steel.展开更多

On the basis of analysis the industrial test samples, thermodynamic software FactSage is used to study inclusions transformation process in CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO system while stainless steel is been smelting. The results illustrate the inclusions melting points and plasticity variation law. The reasonable inclusions plasticity controlling area is found out in low melting point. The melting point is up to 1280℃ While MgO weight concentration is 10% in CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-MgO system, SiO2, Al2O3 and CaO in inclusions are in weight concentration range of 50-70%, 10-20% and 10-40%, respectively. For purpose of gaining low melting point inclusions, silicon alumina radio in deoxidant should be controlled between 2-5 for ultra-low carbon stainless steel refining in industry.展开更多
