Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescent (XRF) measurement techniques have been used for non-destructive characterization of surface oxide films on Type 316L austenitic stainless steels that were exposed to simulated primary water environments of pressurized water reactors (PWR)...detailed
The objective of this work is to identify microstructural variables that lead to the large scatter of the relative resistance of 316 grade stainless steels to hydrogen environment embrittlement. In slow displacement rate tensile testing, two almost identical (by nominal chemical composition) hea...detailed
The present communication reports on the substantial improvement in monotonic and cyclic strength of austenitic 316L stainless steel nanostructured during equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The ultimate tensile strength and the fatigue limit after ECAP exceed 1.3 GPa and 550 MPa, respectivel...detailed
