Abstract Due to their excellent corrosion resistance; austenitic stainless steels are suitable for surface protection applications. However; the application potential is often limited by the low wear resistance. An interstitial hardening of the surface layer area can solve this problem for massive wrought alloys. Further potential for improvement lies in the transition to surface technology. For this purpose; powder feedstock of the stainless-steel grade AISI 316L was gas nitrocarburized at low temperatures. The formation of a metastable expanded austenitic phase was achieved. Subsequently; the processing was carried out by cold gas spraying. Due to the simultaneously high process kinetics and low thermal load; dense coatings were produced while maintaining the metastable state of the feedstock. When compared to solid reference systems; the scratch resistance saw a marked improvement.

Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation

Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) of nitrogen is low-temperature surface technology which enables the improvement of tribological properties without a deterioration of the corrosion behavior of austenitic stainless steels. In this paper the corrosion properties of PIII-treated AISI 316L stainless steel surfaces are evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PP) and exposure immersion tests (all carried out in the 0.9 wt. % NaCl solution at 37 ± 0.5 °C) and compared with a non-treated surface. Results of the three performed independent corrosion tests consistently confirmed a significant increase in the corrosion resistance after two doses of PIII nitriding.

Cold Gas

Cold gas spraying was used to make a coating from an equiatomic CrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy. This four-component alloy was chosen because it is Co-free, thus allowing application in nuclear industries as a possible replacement of currently used stainless steel coatings. The feedstock material was gas atomized powder with a particle size distribution from 20 to 45 µm. A number of parameters were tested, such as the powder feed rate and gas feed pressure, in order to obtain as dense a coating as possible with nitrogen as the process gas. Spraying was performed using a gas preheating temperature of 1000 °C, gas feed pressure ranging from 50 to 60 bar, and two powder feeding rates. The coating thicknesses ranging from 230 to 490 µm and porosities ranging from 3% to 10% were obtained depending on the powder feed rate and gas feed pressure. The hardness of the cross-section of the coating was usually lower than that of the surface. The highest coating hardness obtained was above 300 HV0.3 for both the surface and the cross-section. The as-atomized powder consisted of a face-centered cubic (FCC) phase with a minute amount of body-centered cubic (BCC) phase, which was no longer detectable in the coatings. The microstructure of the coating was highly stressed due to the high degree of deformation occurring in cold gas spraying. The deformation leads to strain hardening and induces a pronounced texture in the coating. The {111} planes tend to align along the coating surface, with deformation and texturing concentrating mainly on particle boundaries. A high-entropy alloy (HEA) coating was successfully sprayed for the first time using nitrogen as a process gas. The coating has the potential to replace stainless steel coatings in nuclear industry applications.

ABSTRACTStainless steel is being envisaged as the primary candidate container material for the final disposal of vitrified HLW in deep geological argillaceous formations in Belgium. The impact of an evolving underground repository environment, i.e. a progressive change from oxic to anoxic conditions (due to the consumption of entrapped oxygen), on the pitting behaviour of austenitic stainless steels AISI 316L hMo and UHB 904L was studied. CPP-experiments were performed in synthetic solutions, which are representative for the near-field chemistry of an underground repository. The solutions contained various amounts of Cl- (100–50,000 mg/L) at near-neutral pH. Experiments were conducted at 16 and 90°C.AISI 316L hMo and UHB 904L will not be subjected to immediate pitting problems neither under oxic, nor under anoxic conditions. However, AISI 316L hMo could present long-term pitting problems under oxic conditions. Pits are much easier initiated on AISI 316L hMo, for both oxic and anoxic conditions. The pits propagate in a rather similar manner under oxic conditions for both alloys, whereas under anoxic conditions the pits formed on AISI 316L hMo are much deeper. AISI 316L hMo is more susceptible to crevice attack.

Metal Welding

Dissimilar metal welding is widely applied to meet the rquirement of transition in mechanical properties and/or difference in working conditions. For instance, even though AISI 304 and AISI 316L are both belong to austenitic stainless steels, but they are applied in different working environment. AISI 304 is used at high temperature applications, whereas AISI 316L is used at low temperature. Repair welding is able to return a part back to its normal service life if weld failure happened due to service deterioration or defects during fabrication stage. However, repetitive heat input due to repair welding will cause changes in welded structure and properties. In this article, the effect of repetitive repair welding of dissimilar austenitic stainless steel pipes to the microhardness, tensile strength, microstructure and quality of the weldment has been reviewed.

Hardness Tester

The nitriding of AISI 316L stainless steels has been carried out at anodic potential in a space enclosed by an active screen that consists of two cylinders with different diameter. These two cylinders made up a hollow cathode in a discharge system. Nitriding experiments were carried out on AISI 316L stainless steel at 450°C for times ranging from 1 to 24h in ammonia atmosphere. The intensity of electron bombardment on the surface of sample was low due to the anodic sheath, the disadvantages attached to conventional plasma nitriding were completely avoided. The phase composition, the thickness and the surface topography of the nitrided layer, as well as its hardness, were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and a micro-hardness tester. The surface microhardness values and the thickness of the hardened layers increased as the nitriding time increased. Tribology properties of the untreated and nitrided 316L stainless steel have been investigated using a ball-on-disc tribometer with AISI52100 ball as the counterface. The results showed wear resistance of the AISI 316L stainless steels were greatly increased by anodic nitriding, owing to the strengthening effect of expanded austenite formed in the modified surface layer.
