Abstract Current work focuses on studying the tribological response of the severely deformed surface of AISI 316L steel specimens using a ball-on-disk tribometer. Specimens are investigated under dry and lubricated (using engine-oil) conditions using different loads and sliding velocities. Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) using 6 mm diameter balls improves the surface hardness of steel by 56%. The wear performance of the severely deformed surface is significantly better than the non-treated steel under the investigated wear conditions. Under the lubricated condition, an improvement in the tribological response of attrition treated specimens is substantially greater than in the dry sliding condition. Steel surface collided with higher velocity balls shows the maximum reduction in wear-rate, which is about 44% and 88% under dry and lubricated conditions, respectively. Under the lubricated condition, the steel surface treated with a lower velocity of the colliding balls shows about a 97% reduction in wear-rate. The lowest specific wear-rates of the attrition treated specimens are 2.32 × 10−4 and 0.11 × 10−6 mm3/(N m) under dry and lubricated conditions, respectively. The contact angle of the lubricating engine-oil on the attrition treated surface (32.65–41.75 deg) is higher than the non-treated surface (19.2 deg). The coefficient of friction (COF) decreases with an increase in the contact angle on the treated surface. COF of the attrition treated specimen ranges from 0.04 to 0.07 under the lubricated sliding condition.

AbstractFractal dimension of the microstructure of AISI 316L steel (17 Cr, 12.7 Ni, 2.1 Mo, 1. 5 Mn, 0.01 C) with different degrees of strain were obtained from Richardson plots of grain boundary perimeter against magnification. Grain boundaries were revealed using conventional metallographic techniques and measurements were taken with the aid of an automatic image analizer (Quantimet 520) attached to an optical microscope. The magnifications used were 50, 100, 200, 400, and 1000X. The samples were obtained from a 4” diameter tubing, machined according to ASTM A370 standard test method and deformed to 5, 10, 15, and 20 % tensile strain. The results show that the fractal dimension of the grain boundaries changes as deformation is imparted to the material.These results suggest that fractal dimension may be used to describe microstructural evolution of metals during deformation processes.

This study evaluated changes in delta-ferrite content depending on the preheating of AISI 316L stainless steel. We also determined the reasons for the variation in delta-ferrite content, which affects corrosion resistance. Changes in delta-ferrite content after preheating was confirmed using a Feritscope, and the microstructure was analyzed using optical microscopy (OM). We found that the delta-ferrite microstructure size decreased when preheating time was increased at 1295 oC, and that the delta-ferrite content could be controlled through preheating. Potentiodynamic polarization test were carried out in NaCl (0.5 M) + H2SO4 (0.5 M) solution, and it was found that higher delta-ferrite content resulted in less corrosion potential and passive potential. To determine the cause, an analysis was conducted using energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), which confirmed that higher delta-ferrite content led to weaker corrosion resistance, due to Cr degradation at the delta-ferrite and austenite boundaries. The degradation of Cr on the boundaries between austenite and delta-ferrite can be explained by the difference in the diffusion coefficient of Cr in the ferrite and austenite. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of material used for actual semiconductor piping confirmed that corrosion begins at the delta-ferrite and austenite boundaries. These results confirm the need to control delta-ferrite content in AISI 316L stainless steel used for semiconductor piping.
