Abstract The effects of deep rolling parameters; particularly, work speed and cooling conditions (dry and cryogenic) on the surface integrity of AISI 304L machined samples and their further impact on uniform and localized corrosion behavior in chloride environment were experimentally investigated in this work. The electrochemical behavior of machined and deep rolled samples was assessed using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization tests in synthetic seawater. Findings of this study exhibit that grain refinement generated in the surface layers leads to improved corrosion behavior of deep rolled specimens with regard to machining state. In addition, machined samples deep rolled at a speed of 25 m/min, without cooling, showed better corrosion resistance than those processed under cryogenic cooling. However, the application of cryogenic deep rolling at speeds of 75 m/min and 120 m/min significantly enhanced the electrochemical behavior of mechanically treated specimens. It was found that the corrosion behavior of AISI 304L deep rolled components is related to combined factors (surface roughness, strain-induced martensite, microhardness, residual stress). Despite of high amounts of strain-induced martensite that can deteriorate the electrochemical behavior, it was shown that deep rolled specimens under cryogenic cooling with low surface roughness depict better uniform and localized corrosion resistances.

AbstractManufacturing craves for more sustainable solutions for machining heat-resistant alloys. In this paper, an assessment of different cooling lubrication approaches for Ti6Al4V milling was carried out. Cryogenic cutting (liquid nitrogen) and conventional cooling (oil-based fluid) were assessed with respect to dry cutting. To study the effects of the main relevant process parameters, proper energy models were developed, validated and then used for comparing the analysed cooling lubrication strategies. The model parameters were identified exploiting data from specifically conceived experiments. The power assessment was carried out considering different perspectives, with a bottom-up approach. Indeed, it was found that cryogenic cooling, thanks to a better tribological behaviour, is less energy demanding (at least 25%) than dry and conventional cutting. If the spindle power is considered, lower saving percentages can be expected. Cryogenic cooling showed its best energy performance (from 3 to 11 times) with respect to conventional cutting if the machine tool perspective is analysed. Considering even the primary energy required for producing the cutting fluids, the assessment showed that cryogenic cooling requires up to 19 times the energy required for conventional cutting.

The article presents results of comparative A-TIG welding tests involving selected unalloyed and fine-grained steels, as well as high-strength steel WELDOX 1300 and austenitic stainless steel AISI 304L. The tests involved the use of single ingredient activated fluxes (Cr2O3, TiO2, SiO2, Fe2O3, NaF, and AlF3). In cases of carbon and low-alloy steels, the tests revealed that the greatest increase in penetration depth was observed in the steels which had been well deoxidized and purified during their production in steelworks. The tests revealed that among the activated fluxes, the TiO2 and SiO2 oxides always led to an increase in penetration depth during A-TIG welding, regardless of the type and grade of steel. The degree of the aforesaid increase was restricted within the range of 30% to more than 200%.
