This research paper focuses on enhancing the surface characteristics of the 316 stainless steel (SS316) alloy, including roughness, microhardness, and corrosion resistance. Where the application of ND-YAG laser technology, a highly relevant and timely area, was investigated deeply. The Q-switching Nd: YAG Laser was used with varying laser energy levels within the context of the laser shock peening (LSP) technique. The corrosion resistance of the 316 ss alloy is evaluated in a corrosive environment of 500 mL of saliva (with a pH of 5.6) through electrochemical corrosion testing. Corrosion rate was determined based on the analysis of polarization curves. The outcomes of this research reveal that as the laser energy was increased, there was a noticeable enhancement in the mechanical properties of the 316 ss alloy’s surface. Importantly, the corrosion rate experiences a significant reduction, decreasing from 4.94 mm/yr to 3.59 mm/yr following laser shock peening (LSP) application.

EN

AISI 304 alloy steel was polarized anodically in a deep eutectic solvent based on choline chloride and oxalic acid (1 : 1 molar ratio) at the temperature range of 25–75°C and the current density range of 2.5–45 mA cm−2. No improvement in visual parameters (gloss) was observed with increasing temperature. That was due to the formation of numerous pits on the surface as evidenced by SEM microscopy. AFM showed at lower temperatures the evenly distributed shallow pits, while at higher temperatures – less numerous but larger ones. XPS and ICP-AES analysis showed that the anodic polarization process increased the content of oxidized chromium on the surface and indicated high degree of iron leaching from the material. Morphology of this passive layer, which thickness was calculated to 3.3 nm, was characterized by uniform mixture of Cr(III) oxide and hydroxide. In contrast to chemically etched steel, polarization in DES produced surface layer enriched with Cr2O3 (56% instead of 28% total share) with lower share of Cr(OH)3 (41% instead of 70% total share). Anodic polarization process in proposed DES was responsible for a slight increase in corrosion resistance of 304 steel.

Stal stopową AISI 304 poddano polaryzacji anodowej w rozpuszczalniku eutektycznym złożonym z chlorku choliny i kwasu szczawiowego (1 : 1 molowo) w temperaturze 25–75°C i przy gęstości prądu 2,5– 45 mA cm−2. Nie zaobserwowano poprawy połysku wraz ze wzrostem temperatury procesu ze względu na powstanie licznych wżerów na powierzchni, widocznych za pomocą mikroskopii SEM. Analiza AFM wykazała, że w niższych temperaturach wżery są płytkie i równomiernie rozmieszczone, a w wyższych są większe i mniej liczne. Analizy XPS i ICP-AES ujawniły, że na skutek polaryzacji anodowej wzrasta ilość utlenionego chromu w powierzchni stali, czemu towarzyszy nadmierne roztwarzanie żelaza ze stopu. Morfologia wytworzonej warstwy pasywnej, o grubości około 3,3 nm, to jednorodna mieszanina tlenku i wodorotlenku Cr(III). W porównaniu z trawioną chemicznie stalą polaryzacja anodowa w DES skutkuje wytworzeniem warstwy powierzchniowej wzbogaconej w Cr2O3 (56% zamiast 28% zawartości) i z mniejszym udziałem Cr(OH)3 (41% zamiast 70%). Proces polaryzacji anodowej stali 304 w zaproponowanym DES przyczynił się do poprawy odporności na korozję.

The paper presents the results and analysis of potentiokinetic investigation on materials used in elements of exhaust systems in combustion engine vehicles. The tests were performed for stainless steel X5CrNi18-10 and titanium 3.7035. The resistance to general corrosion and the susceptibility to pitting corrosion was determined for these materials in environments containing chloride ions ranging between 0.2÷1.0M. Moreover, the susceptibility to repassivation was examined. The performed tests showed high electrochemical stability of titanium and lack of the susceptibility to pitting corrosion in the applied environmental conditions. What was observed for the stainless steel was the development of pitting corrosion at ion concentration of [Cl-] > 0.6 mol/dm3 , as well as the lack of influence of ion concentration on the repassivation potential.

The present study reports on the significant improvement in the wear and corrosion resistance of SS316L by adding Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) of varying wt.% (0.25, 0.5, and 0.75), composites which were prepared by the pressureless sintering technique. The GNP addition can significantly improve the wear and corrosion resistance of SS316L. The wear and corrosion rates for the 0.5 wt.% GNP composite were reduced by 43% and 98%, respectively. The corrosion morphology showed that pitting corrosion was reduced by reinforcing 316L with 0.5 wt.% GNP. Moreover, the intergranular sites were more vulnerable to the corrosion medium when GNP was used at 0.75 wt.%. The worn surface morphology revealed that the tribofilm reduces the coefficient of friction and wear rate due to the lubricating nature of GNP. The presence of GNP was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy in terms of the tribofilm.

Purpose: The paper shows the problem of surface cracks from welding (TIG welding) to welding stainless steel pipe (heat-affected zone: HAZ). The study is an experiment of preparing welding with non-heating workpieces and preheating the workpiece using the principle of induction, heating with a fluid inverter circuit that can adjust power by frequency control, pulse frequency density modulation (PFDM) to maintain temperature for industrial. Design/methodology/approach: The control circuit is responsible for regulating the functioning of different devices and the speed of operation of the switch device. It divides the control into two closed loops: phase-angle feedback and current feedback. The phase-angle feedback loop ensures frequency tracking during the phase check angle, enabling the inverter to operate at frequencies higher than the resonant frequency throughout its operation. The process of arc welding was employed in the fusion of stainless-steel materials. Preheating is a crucial step in the welding process, as it serves to uphold the integrity of the weld and mitigate the occurrence of undesirable outcomes such as cracking and the subsequent requirement for rework. The Welding Process Specification (WPS) about the task at hand will delineate the lower and upper limits of preheating temperatures and the requisite period for preheating. High-quality products should be devoid of these imperfections and possess comprehensive welding reinforcement. Additional welding certifications encompassed a tensile testing procedure, a microhardness testing procedure, and a comprehensive microstructure analysis. Findings: Applying an alternating voltage to an induction coil generates an alternating current (AC) within the coil circuit. The induced currents exhibit a frequency identical to that of the coil current, although they possess an opposite direction to the coil current. These currents facilitate heat generation through the phenomenon known as the Joule effect. The temperature range of 250°C-400°C can be effectively regulated for preheating stainless steel by using high-frequency electric process heating in induction welding, hence achieving the desired welding preheat. There are two primary classifications for inverters: voltage-source inverters and current-source inverters. Research limitations/implications: The main research limitation is comparing preheat and non-preheat. The size of the heat-affected zones is influenced by the rate of heating and cooling brought on by machining processes. By influencing the microstructural changes in that area, precise control of the variables can impact the integrity of the weld zones. The microstructural characteristics of the metal are different from the rest of the subject because welding heats the metal. The topic is heated up beforehand to ensure smooth welding and structural integrity. Because there is less of a temperature difference between the weld zone and the base material, preheating during welding results in less shrinkage stress. Distortions and crack flaws might result from higher shrinkage stress. Practical implications: NDT, or non-destructive testing, is a weld integrity test to find defects that occur in the weld without damaging that welding line and continuing to use it safely. For the welding line to be strong according to the design of that welding line (conformance to design), the test will use the principles of physical properties, such as light, X or gamma rays, magnetic fields, and high-frequency sound waves. Originality/value: In the research, stainless steel was successfully welded to preheat using induction heating (IH).

Purpose: The work aimed to numerically model through the Finite Element Method (FEM) the distribution of residual stresses and thermal distortions in parts generated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) in stainless steel AISI 316L and validate the results obtained through experimental measurements on previously manufactured parts. Design/methodology/approach: The design methodology followed a numerical approach through the Finite Element Method (FEM), the distribution of residual stresses and thermal distortions in parts generated by Selective Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) in stainless steel AISI 316L and the FEM approach was validated trough the results obtained through experimental measurements on previously manufactured parts. The influence on three levels was verified through complete factorial planning of some manufacturing parameters, such as laser power, speed, and distance between scans (hatch), on the stress and distortion results of the samples and also on the samples simulated by FEM. Findings: When results were compared about the average diameters, a relative error of less than 2.5% was observed. The average diameter was influenced by power and speed. Increasing power decreased the average diameter of the samples, while increasing speed and hatch increased the average diameter. When results are compared to measure the residual stresses, it is observed that the relative error was less than 1%. Power, speed, and the hatch itself influenced the residual stress. Increasing power increases residual stress while increasing speed and hatch decreases residual stress. The cooling rate and the transient thermal history are the control factors that influence the residual stresses and are directly related to the process parameters. The computational modelling followed by measurements and calibrations carried out in the experimental stages proved to be efficient and enabled the reproduction of thermal distortion and residual stresses with statistical confidence. prediction of thermal distortions and residual stresses using the machine learning approach. Future research will study heating the building platform, which should also impact residual stresses. Practical implications: Based on the results obtained in this research, it will be possible to select better additive manufacturing parameters for manufacturing 316L stainless steel parts. The parameters evaluated in the work were laser power, scanning speed, and hatch. Originality/value: The innovation of the work lies in the robust simulation of the thermo-elastic behaviour of samples subjected to the additive manufacturing process, where it was possible to accurately relate the thermal distortions and residual stresses that appeared in the samples printed with the parts modelled by the FEM. The numerical-experimental validation makes it possible to extrapolate the studies to several other manufacturing parameters using only computational simulation and work with a more significant amount of data for a prediction study.

Using torch brazing techniques, 316 stainless steel was brazed to CP copper using flux-coated low silver content filler with 20% Ag. The brazing torch utilized a fuel mixture of propane gas with oxygen to produce the required heating amount due to the possibility of economic interest in employing low-silver-content filler. The brazing filler's braze ability with SUS304 and copper was scrutinized and deeply analyzed. A ferrite barrier layer was made on the stainless-steel side, and an excellent brazed joint was produced. Metallurgical studies using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirmed the production of a ferrite layer. This layer's advantages were carefully examined with metallurgical testing, electron diffraction scanning (EDS), EDS mapping, and EDS line analyses, including preventing copper intergranular penetration into the stainless-steel grain boundary. The mechanical properties of the brazed joint and its usability were assessed through Vickers microhardness and tensile tests on the brazing seam and both base metals. The results of the brazing process showed that using flux-coated low-silver brazing techniques produced strong joints with satisfactory mechanical properties. These techniques are a cost-effective alternative to high-priced brazing fillers with high silver content. Geometrical models simulated the heat distribution using ANSYS and SOLIDWORKS software to analyze penetration depth, joint quality, surface cracks, and the relation between molten filler density variation and the wetting process.

This article presents the results of the analysis of changes in the surface topography of AISI 321 (1.4541) thin-walled stainless steel tubes in single-pass Floating-Plug Drawing (FPD) process. Experimental tests were carried out with variable drawing speed (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 10 m/min) and different angles of floating plug (11.3°, 13° and 14°). Wisura DSO7010 (Fuchs Oil) lubricant was used in the experiments. Mean roughness Ra and ten point height of irregularities Rz were adopted as surface quality indicators. Roughness parameters were measured independently on the inner and outer surfaces of thin-walled tubes. Analysis of variance was used to analyse the relationship between process parameters (drawing speed and angle of floating plug) and surface roughness of tubes. A decrease in the values of both analyzed roughness parameters was observed as a result of the drawing process. The FPD process significantly improves the inner surface quality of AISI 321 thin-walled stainless steel tubes. The mean roughness value tends to increase with increasing drawing speed, while the angle of the floating-plug has no significant effect on the mean roughness Ra.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki analizy zmian topografii powierzchni rur cienkościennych ze stali nierdzewnej AISI 321 po procesie ciągnienia na korku swobodnym. Badania eksperymentalne przeprowadzono w jednym przejściu, ze zmienną prędkością ciągnienia (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 10 m/min) oraz różnymi kątami β korka swobodnego (11.3°, 13° and 14°). W badaniach eksperymentalnych wykorzystano smar Wisura DSO7010 (Fuchs Oil). Jako wskaźniki jakości powierzchni przyjęto średnie arytmetyczne odchylenie rzędnych profilu Ra oraz wysokość chropowatości według 10 punktów Rz. Parametry chropowatości mierzono niezależnie na wewnętrznej i zewnętrznej powierzchni rur cienkościennych. Do analizy związków pomiędzy parametrami procesu ciągnienia (prędkość ciągnienia i kąt korka swobodnego) wykorzystano analizę wariancji. Zaobserwowano zmniejszenie wartości obydwu analizowanych parametrów chropowatości w wyniku procesu ciągnienia. Proces ciągnienia na korku swobodnym znacznie poprawia jakość wewnętrznej powierzchni cienkościennych rur ze stali nierdzewnej AISI 321. Zaobserwowano tendencję do zwiększania się parametru Ra wraz ze wzrostem prędkości ciągnienia, podczas gdy kąt β korka swobodnego nie miał znaczącego wpływu na średnią chropowatość Ra.

Various types of metal implants, both in Poland and worldwide, are mainly manufactured from stainless steel due to their biocompatibility, strength, and relatively low price. However, any such procedure involves the risk of peri-implant infection, stimulated, among other things, by the formation of a bacterial biofilm on the surface of the implant. In this paper, several methods of modifying the surface of steel for medical applications were proposed, such as mechanical polishing, electropolishing, sandblasting, and the application of a thin surface layer. This was followed by a series of physicochemical and biological tests. The results indicate that the titanium nitride coating improved corrosion resistance and reduced bacterial adhesion on the surface. No significant improvement in abrasion was observed, and the adhesion of the coating closely depended on the method of preparation.

Implanty metalowe, zarówno w Polsce, jak i na świecie, produkowane są głównie ze stali nierdzewnej ze względu na jej biokompatybilność, wytrzymałość i stosunkowo niską cenę. Jednak każdy tego rodzaju zabieg wiąże się z ryzykiem powstania zakażenia okołowszczepowego, stymulowanego m.in. powstawaniem biofilmu bakteryjnego na powierzchni implantu. W pracy zaproponowano kilka metod modyfikacji powierzchni stali do zastosowań medycznych, takich jak polerowanie mechaniczne, elektropolerowanie, piaskowanie oraz nałożenie cienkiej warstwy powierzchniowej. Następnie przeprowadzono szereg badań fizykochemicznych i biologicznych. Wyniki wskazują, że powłoka azotku tytanu poprawiła odporność na korozję oraz ograniczyła adhezję bakterii na powierzchni. Nie zaobserwowano znaczącej poprawy ścieralności, a adhezja powłoki ściśle zależała od metody jej przygotowania.

In many machining applications, the appropriate selection of cutting tools in relation to the type of material being machined, the machining parameters and the required shape and dimensional accuracy is of particular importance. This especially applies to operations requiring the use of specific tools, i.e. tools that are not included in the standard offer but are tailor-made according to the individual needs of the customer. The article focuses on the machining problems of selected austenitic grades of stainless steel and the selection of technologies (i.e. machining parameters and strategies and tool geometry) concerning the design and use of special monolithic carbide milling cutters. The possibilities of manufacturing elements from austenitic steels with high shape and dimensional accuracy and high surface layer quality are limited. Due to their high ductility, the tendency to create growths on the cutting edge and the high compression strength coefficient, these materials pose a serious technological challenge. The analysis of phenomena presented in the article forms the basis for developing guidelines for designing the machining process using special monolithic carbide cutters dedicated for specific applications.

316L steel specimens with three different shear zones made by SLM (Selective Laser Melting) were subjected to dynamic tests using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar method. The effect of high-speed deformation on changes in microstructure was analyzed. In addition, the stress-strain relationship was determined from the SHPB results. To visualize the deformation process of the specimens during the tests, a camera with a high frame rate was used. It was shown that as the plastic deformation increases, the hardness of the material increases. Microstructural analysis of dynamically loaded areas revealed numerous defects. Twinning was found to be the main deformation mechanism. Large plastic deformation and many other microstructural changes such as shear bands, cracks and martensite nucleation were also observed.

In this study, the bio state of the alloy produced in the modified metal injection system was monitored after sintering. A new system operating with high gas pressure, far from the traditional injection model, has been established for material production. In this system, 316L stainless steel powders were molded using a PEG/PMMA/SA polymer recipe. During molding, approximately 60% 316L and 40% binder by volume were used. The samples obtained were sintered at different temperatures (1100-1300°C) after de-binding. Density measurement (Archimedes) and hardness tests (HV1) of the samples were measured as 6.74 g/cm3 and ~285 HV1, respectively. A potentiodynamic corrosion test was applied to monitor the effect of the amount of oxide in the structure of the 316L stainless steel produced. Corrosion tests were carried out in artificial body solutions. The corrosion rate was measured at the level of 17.08×10-3 mm/y. In terms of biocompatibility, a cytotoxicity test was applied to the samples and the life course of the bacteria was monitored. For the 316L alloys produced, the % vitality reached approximately 103%.

In-situ study of deformation behaviour and mechanisms occurring during early stages of deformation is of a great practical importance. Low stacking fault energy materials, as is the case of AISI 304L, show non-linear deformation characteristics way below the bulk yield point. Shockley partial dislocations, formation of stacking faults respectively, resulting in creation of shear bands and ε-martensite transformation are the mechanisms occurring in the low strains in the studied steel. Acoustic emission and infrared thermography have been used in this study to investigate the deformation kinetics at the low strain stages of slow strain rate tensile tests. Acoustic emission cumulative energy together with the tracking of specimen maximum temperature have been found to be very useful in-situ techniques both supplementing each other in the sense of the sensitivity to different mechanisms. Mechanical, acoustic emission and infrared thermography results are discussed in detail with respect to potential occurred mechanism.

Purpose: This paper presents an analysis of the structure and physicochemical properties of coatings based on an organofunctional silane (VTMS), a conductive polymer (PEDOT), and a surfactant (polyoxyethylene glycol monolauryl ether BRIJ). Design/methodology/approach The coatings were deposited on X20Cr13 stainless steel and glassy carbon specimens using sol-gel immersion. The obtained coatings were characterised in terms of topography, microstructure, roughness, adhesion to the steel substrate, thickness, and corrosion resistance. Corrosion tests were conducted in sulfate environments with pH = 2 without or with the addition of Cl- ions. Findings: The use of different surfactant concentrations in the modifying solution is intended to improve the deposition efficiency and increase the degree of dispersion of silane and conducting polymer. Research limitations/implications The tested coatings were found to slow down the corrosion of the steel substrate, thus effectively protecting it from this phenomenon. The use of a surfactant compound is intended to increase the degree of dispersion of silane and polymer in the modifying solution to improve deposition efficiency. Practical implications: Test carried out in corrosive media have shown that the coatings proposed in the above work, based on VTMS silane, PEDOT polymer and BRIJ surfactant, significantly increase the corrosion resistance of the tested materials, which confirms their effectiveness and possibility of application in various industries. Originality/value: The novelty of this paper is the use of silane (VTMS), polymer (PEDOT) and surfactant (BRIJ) as components of the anticorrosion coating.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is one of the critical techniques of novel medical devices which is capable of processing complicated or customized structures to best match the human’s bones and tissues. AM allows for the fabrication of devices with optimal architectures, complicated morphologies, surface integrity, and regulated porosity and chemical composition. Various AM methods can now consistently fabricate dense products for a range of metallic, nonmetallic, composites, and nanocomposites. Different studies are available that describe the microstructure and various properties of 3D-printed biomedical alloys. However, there are limited research on the wear characteristics, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility of 3D-printed technology-constructed biomedical alloys. In this article, AM metallic biomaterials such as stainless steel, magnesium, cobalt–chromium, and titanium are reviewed along with their alloys. The helicopter view of essential characteristics of these additively manufactured biomaterials is comprised. The review will have a significant impact on fabricating metallic surgical equipment and its sturdiness in the biomedical field.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of ZrO2-based ceramic beads shot peening on the performance properties of AISI 316L austenitic steel. The results obtained in the roughness and microhardness measurements, the state of the surface layer, and the tribological properties (ball-on-disc) of the specimens after the peening process were compared to the results obtained for the reference specimen. The tests were carried out with varying parameters of pressure (0.3 MPa, 0.4MPa) and time (30s, 60s). The lowest values of COF (µ=0.576) and wear factor (K=3.95*10-4 mm3N-1m-1) were observed for the surface peened using parameters: 0.4 MPa and 60s. By increasing the time twice, a much lower wear factor can be achieved unlike when increasing the shot peening by 0.1 MPa. Observations of wear traces indicate that abrasive wear is predominant and the transfer of specimen material by countersample is also observed.

Stainless steels are widely used for various automotive components. Some of them (e.g., parts of the exhaust system) are exposed to the external environment. In winter conditions, they are affected by chloride containing road salt solutions, which can lead to the local corrosion of these stainless steel parts. The presented paper is focused on the pitting corrosion resistance of two austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304 and AISI 316L) in 5 wt% and 10 wt% road salt solutions. The evaluation and comparison are based on the potentiodynamic polarization test method carried out at the temperature of 20 ± 2°C. The pitting potentials were determined from the polarization curves. Local corrosion damage of exposed surfaces caused by potentiodynamic polarization in the used solutions was observed by optical microscope. Experimental results confirmed a worse pitting corrosion resistance case, especially for AISI 304 stainless steel in 10 wt% road salt solution.

The paper investigates the modelling and optimization of the notch-repaired/friction stir stitched AISI 201 stainless steel welds via the use of a non-consumable tool-based repair process. The repair process employs a sequential hopping-stitching approach. This approach involves the application of two intercepted and completely overlapped plunging actions of a probe-less titanium carbide tool to create an effective refilling and repair of the notched zone. Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed for the experimental planning, modelling, and optimization of the notch-repair process. Tool rotational speed, penetration depth and dwell time of the tool were the studied process parameters while tensile strength was the response variable. A quadratic model was identified as the best model for the notch-repaired welds based on the combination of a low sequential P-value of 0.008216, a high lack of fit P-value of 0.931366, and a close to unity adjusted and predicted R-square values. The process parameter and their interaction effects on the tensile strength of the repaired notch were identified via the ANOVA analysis. Plunge depth (main effect) and interaction effect of tool rotational speed and dwell time had significant influences on the notch-repair process and the resultant tensile strength of the AISI 201 stainless steel. The visual representations of these effects were shown through the 2D elliptical contour and 3D response surface plots. The optimized process parameters were identified as 1215.9795 rpm, 0.40262212 mm, and 5.98706376 s while the resultant notch-repaired joint yielded a tensile strength of 886 MPa, which is close to the predicted value.
