The relation between pit morphology and microstructure formed during 850°C isothermal aging of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel (DSS) could be reached through the explanation of pit nucleation and growth during potentiodynamic ...

© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.The possibility of a reverse strain-induced martensitic transformation (RSIMT) of ferrite into austenite was evaluated in two duplex stainless steels (DSS) solution treated ...

This paper is based on the study of intermetallic phase formation during aging between 850 C and 950 C, for periods up to 5 min; those treatments were conducted in liquid aluminum bath, allowing fast heating of the small ...

© 2016 Elsevier B.V.In the present work, low temperature active screen plasma nitriding of a 17–4 PH precipitation-hardening stainless steel was investigated. The active screen technique has been used to avoid undesirable ...

This work examines the effect of weld strength mismatch on fracture toughness measurements defined by J and CTOD fracture parameters using single edge notch bend (SE(B)) specimens. A central objective of the present study ...

This research addresses the application of friction stir welding (FWS) of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Friction stir welding is a recent process, developed in the 1990s for aluminum joining; this joining process is being ...

PP/CF composites were prepared and the effect of lignin incorporation in the presence and absence of compatibilizer (maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene, PP-g-MA) was investigated by means of mechanical, thermal and ...

© 2017, NACE InternationalPitting potential (Ep) and degree of sensitization (DOS) of a supermartensitic stainless steel (SMSS) were determined on specimens heat-treated at different tempering temperatures (550°C, 575°C, ...
