Precipitation hardening stainless steel has the advantages of both austenitic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel, including good corrosion resistance, excellent processability and high strength. With the evolution of microstructure and properties of semi-austenitic precipitation hardening stainless steel (D631) during drawing process and aging treatment, the working hardening behaviors, law of phase transition, dissolution and precipitation state of alloying element are investigated to gain the toughness mechanism of D631. The results show that the tensile strength increases with the increase of the reduction of area, on the contrary, the plasticity decreases gradually. The tensile strength is 1529 MPa while the reduction of area is 54%. By means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and metallograpic observation, the content of martensite increases with the increase of deformation, and makes the higher strength and lower plasticity. The alloying element dissolved in the matrix precipitates in fine particles by aging treatment, resulting in a higher strength of 1948MPa.

0Cr17Ni7Al is a precipitation hardening stainless steel, which combines the advantages of austenitic stainless steel and martensitic stainless steel. 0Cr17Ni7Al shows good corrosion resistance, excellent processability and high strength. This paper is mainly focused on the fracture morphology of 0Cr17Ni7Al wire during torsional deformation. Cracking mechanism and torsion failure reason is analyzed in detail. The results show that AlN inclusions are observed both in raw steel wire and fracture, the micro-cracks appear along the axial direction of the steel wire. The torsion strength is normally 2958MPa. but, the local stress of steel wire reaches up to5295MPa when a 0.4mm deep micro-crack locates on the surface of steel wire, and the local stress is obtained to 2953MPa around a 10μm AlN inclusion. Stress concentrating is caused by inclusions and micro-cracks, and the crack propagation lead to the torsion failure of steel wire when the local stress is beyond the torsion limit.

AbstractEngineered cementitious composites (ECC) show the distinguished characteristics of high post-cracking resistance and ductility. High-strength stainless steel wire rope (HSSSWR) has been successfully used for restoring or strengthening of existing structures. By combining the advantages of these two materials, a new composite system formed by embedding HSSSWR into ECC was proposed and expected to be a promising engineering material for repair or strengthening of structures. To investigate the tensile failure mechanism and mechanical properties of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC, an experimental study on 27 HSSSWR-reinforced ECC plates was conducted considering the effects of the reinforcement ratio of longitudinal HSSSWRs, formula of ECC and width of the plate. Test results revealed that HSSSWR-reinforced ECC exhibit superior post-cracking resistance, deformation capacity and crack-width control capacity. Increasing the reinforcement ratio of longitudinal HSSSWRs can effectively enhance the tensile strength, crack-width control capacity, deformation capacity and tensile toughness of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC. Adding thickener in ECC can significantly improve the crack-width control capacity and deformation capacity of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC due to enhancing uniform distribution of polyvinyl alcohol fibers, but would slightly reduce the cracking stress and maximum tensile stress by bringing small bubbles in the matrix. The tensile properties of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC plates are almost not affected by varying the plate width. Besides, a tensile constitutive model was developed for charactering the stress–strain relationship of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC in tension. Based on mechanical theories and failure characteristics of HSSSWR-reinforced ECC, the model parameters were determined, and calculation equations of cracking stress and tensile strength were proposed. The accuracy of the developed model and calculation equations was verified by test results.

Stainless steels have widespread applications due to their good corrosion resistance, but for certain types of large naval constructions, other requirements are imposed such as high strength and toughness , and modified magnetic characteristics.The magnetic characteristics of a 302 type metastable austenitic stainless steel has been assessed after various cold rolling treatments designed to increase strength by strain inducement of martensite. A grade 817M40 low alloy medium carbon steel was used as a reference material.The metastable austenitic stainless steel after solution treatment possesses a fully austenitic microstructure. However its tensile strength , in the solution treated condition , is low.Cold rolling results in the strain induced transformation to α’- martensite in austenitic matrix and enhances the tensile strength. However , α’-martensite is ferromagnetic , and its introduction to an otherwise fully paramagnetic matrix alters the magnetic response of the material. An example of the mixed martensitic-retained austenitic microstructure obtained after the cold rolling experiment is provided in the SEM micrograph of Figure 1.

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.
