Austenitic stainless steel has a large problem to decrease its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties by sensitization in the welding process. Thus, in this paper, corrosion fatigue characteristics of artificially sensitized STS304 were investigated. According as heat treatment period for sensitization increases, the Cr-carbide deposition in the grain boundary and degree of sensitization (Ia/Ir) increased. From the results, corrosion fatigue strength of sensitized STS304 was remarkably reduced compare to non-sensitized ones.

The effect of solution heat treatment on the pitting corrosion resistance of 17Cr-6Mn-5Ni-1.5Cu austenitic stainless steel in 0.6M NaCl aqueous solution was evaluated. UNS S30403 (304L) steel was used as benchmark material. Solution heat treatments (SHT) were conducted at 1010°C, 1040°C, 1070°C and 1100°C. The microstructural characterization revealed the presence of δ-ferrite, especially in the asreceived condition (AR). The SHT decreased the proportion of the ferrite phase. Mnrich precipitates were observed in the as-received condition of 17Cr-6Mn-5Ni-1.5Cu steel, but they were dissolved after the SHT, causing localized Mn enrichment in the austenite. Potentiodynamic tests showed that the pitting potential (Ep) in the 304L steel was not altered significantly after SHT. On the other hand, the value of Ep of the 17Cr-6Mn-5Ni-1.5Cu steel decreased after SHT. This detrimental effect was explained by the formation of Mn enrichment areas due to the solubilization of Mn-rich precipitates, which promoted preferential Cl- adsorption in these regions.

In this paper, to investigate the effect of stabilizing heat treatment for decreasing intergrular corrosion in welded AISI 321 steel by SMAW, at first, it was solution heat treatment in 1050°C and 3 hours , then it was stabilizing heat treatment in various times and temperatures for creating more chrome carbides which could not be created in first stage. Results indicated that, by increasing the temperature of stabilized heat treatment, more titanium carbides dissolves, while time increasing causes more creation of titanium carbides, decreasing of chrome carbides, and finally leads to increase of intergrnular corrosion resistance.

Grain boundary serrations were produced in heat-resistant austenitic stainless steel containing Cu by applying after solution heat-treatment a holding time in the range 700-800oC between 30 minutes to 3 hours. These special treatments provide an enhancement of the tensile ductility of about 40 and 113%at room temperature and 750oC, respectively, while no significant change in the yield stress and tensile strength could be observed.

The effect of aging on the precipitates, mechanical and magnetic properties of Fe-21Cr-15Ni-6Mn-Nb low magnetic stainless steel were investigated. The steel was aged at 550–750 °C for 2 h after solution heat treatment at 1100 °C for 1 h. During the aging treatment, the (Nb, V)(C, N) particles gradually precipitated in the grain, which were coherent or semi-coherent with the matrix. When the aging temperature was beyond 650 °C, the coarsening rate of (Nb, V)(C, N) particles increase rapidly and the coherent orientation between (Nb, V)(C, N) particles and the matrix was lost gradually. Meanwhile, coarse M23C6 was distributed at the grain boundary with chain shape, which was non-coherent with the matrix. The coarsening behavior of (Nb, V)(C, N) precipitates in the grain was analyzed, and the size of the particles precipitated after aging treatment at 650°C for different time was calculated and studied. After aging treatment at 650 °C for 2 h, the yield strength and tensile strength of the stainless steel was 705.6 MPa and 1002.3 MPa, the elongation and the relative magnetic permeability was 37.8% and 1.0035, respectively.
