The low hardness and poor wear resistance of AISI 316 L austenitic stainless-steel sabotage its outer appearance and shorten its service life when it is subjected to sliding. In this paper, the single-pass ultrasonic surface rolling (USR) process was used to modify the surface of 316 L austenitic stainless steel. A nanostructured surface layer with a depth span of 15 μm was fabricated. Dry wear tests of USR samples were performed on a ring-on-block tester at room temperature, and the results were compared with those for the as-received sample. The USR sample showed a significant reduction in wear mass loss and an improved hardness, as well as a decreased surface roughness. The detailed wear mechanism was also investigated by SEM observations of the worn surfaces. It was indicated that oxidation and abrasive wear, accompanied by mild adhesion, dominated the wear of USR 316 L stainless steel at both low and high speeds. The superior wear performance of USR 316 L was attributed to its nanostructured surface layer, which was characterized by a high hardness and thereby suppressed the severe abrasive wear. The results provided an alternative approach to modifying the surface of 316 L stainless steel, without changing its surface chemical components.

An attempt is made to modify the surface metallurgically and enhance the wear resistance of AISI 316LN austenitic stainless steel using friction stir processing. Friction stir welding tools made up of tungsten based alloy with pin and pinless configuration was used. Fine equiaxed grains were observed in the friction stir processed zone irrespective of tool configuration used. Dry sliding wear resistance was evaluated using pin-on-disc wear tester and it is found that, the friction stir processed zone showed superior wear resistance compared to the base metal. Microstructure, micro hardness, and worn surfaces were used to correlate the results obtained.

Purpose This paper aims to confirm that increasing the hardness of thrust collars can improve the load carrying capacity (LCC) and wear resistance of water lubricated thrust bearings (WTBs) made of polymers paired with non-polymeric thrust collars, and to design a WTB with high LCC and durability for a shaftless pump-jet propulsor of an autonomous underwater vehicle. Six kinds of WTBs were manufactured by matching aluminum bronze, stainless steel and silicon nitride with two different polymer bearing materials. Their tribological behaviors were tested and compared. Design/methodology/approach The tribological behaviors of the WTBs made with different materials were investigated experimentally on a specially designed test rig. Findings Aluminum bronze is not suitable for crafting thrust collars of heavy load WTBs due to severe abrasive wear. Two body abrasive wear first occurred between the thrust collar and the polymer bearing. Next, aluminum bronze wear particles were produced. The particles acted between the two materials and formed three body abrasive wear. Stainless steel/polymer bearings showed better wear resistance while Si3N4/polymer bearings were the best. Improving the hardness of thrust collars is significant to the LCC and service life of WTBs. Originality/value The wear mechanism of WTBs under heavy load conditions was revealed. Improving the hardness of the thrust collar was confirmed to be a preferable method to improve the wear resistance and LCC of WTBs. The results of this study may provide an important reference for the selection of water lubricated materials and the design of heavy load WTBs.

The fine grains and strain-induced martensite were fabricated in the surface layer of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel by shot peening treatment. The shot peening effects on the microstructure evolution and nitrogen diffusion kinetics in the plasma nitriding process were investigated by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results indicated that when nitriding treatments carried out at 450°C for times ranging from 0 to 36h, the strain-induced martensite transformed to supersaturated nitrogen solid solution (expanded austenite), and slip bands and grain boundaries induced by shot peening in the surface layer lowered the activation energy for nitrogen diffusion and evidently enhanced the nitriding efficiency of austenitic stainless steel.

AbstractThe present study compares the mechanical properties and electrochemical behaviour of austenitic (AISI 316 L) stainless steel compacted at different pressures (200, 400 and 600 MPa), which are conventionally sintered at supersolidus temperature of 1,400°C. As expected, increase in compaction pressure (from 200 MPa) to 600 MPa has shown decreased shrinkage (from 7.3% to 4.2% radial and 5.5% to 3.4% axial, respectively) and increased densification (up to ~92%). Their electrochemical behaviour was investigated in 0.1 N H2SO4 solution by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mechanical properties (such as yield-, tensile- and transverse rupture strength) and electrochemical behaviour with pressure have been correlated with densification response and microstructure (pore type, volume and morphology). Highest densification (~92% theoretical) achieved at 600 MPa (compaction pressure) and 1,400°C (sintering temperature) resulted in excellent combination of tensile strength and ductility (456 ± 40 MPa and 25 ± 1.1% respectively), while showing lowest corrosion rate (0.1 mmpy or 4.7 mpy) due to the presence of isolated porosity in the sintered samples.
