TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of residual stress generated during tube fabrication, roll expansion and machining of stainless steel on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility was studied by testing fabricated tubes, tube-tube sheet joint and heavily machined plate of austenitic stainless steel (SS) in boiling MgCl2.

TL;DR: In this article, two grades of austenitic stainless steel, type 304 and 316L, were cold rolled to different reductions by unidirectional and by cross rolling, and the degree of sensitization was measured by the double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) test in both the alloys.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface machining on the susceptibility of 304L stainless steel to stress corrosion cracking and revealed that surface machined stainless steel results in extensive grain refinement, strain induced martensite transformation and high magnitude of plastic deformation near the surface.
132 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of cold work and low-temperature sensitization heat treatment of non-sensitized austenitic stainless steels have been investigated and related to the cracking in nuclear power reactors.
114 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that the Pitting resistance for tempered condition was lower than the austenitized condition with least resistance at 550 °C. The observation was attributed to the presence of a Fe-rich surface film and massive carbide precipitation with a Cr depletion zone of 7-9 nm at carbide interface.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

Abstract: This article presents an overview of the developments in stainless steels made since the 1990s. Some of the new applications that involve the use of stainless steel are also introduced. A brief introduction to the various classes of stainless steels, their precipitate phases and the status quo of their production around the globe is given first. The advances in a variety of subject areas that have been made recently will then be presented. These recent advances include (1) new findings on the various precipitate phases (the new J phase, new orientation relationships, new phase diagram for the Fe–Cr system, etc.); (2) new suggestions for the prevention/mitigation of the different problems and new methods for their detection/measurement and (3) new techniques for surface/bulk property enhancement (such as laser shot peening, grain boundary engineering and grain refinement). Recent developments in topics like phase prediction, stacking fault energy, superplasticity, metadynamic recrystallisation and the calculation of mechanical properties are introduced, too. In the end of this article, several new applications that involve the use of stainless steels are presented. Some of these are the use of austenitic stainless steels for signature authentication (magnetic recording), the utilisation of the cryogenic magnetic transition of the sigma phase for hot spot detection (the Sigmaplugs), the new Pt-enhanced radiopaque stainless steel (PERSS) coronary stents and stainless steel stents that may be used for magnetic drug targeting. Besides recent developments in conventional stainless steels, those in the high-nitrogen, low-Ni (or Ni-free) varieties are also introduced. These recent developments include new methods for attaining very high nitrogen contents, new guidelines for alloy design, the merits/demerits associated with high nitrogen contents, etc.

TL;DR: A three-year study by the CIRP's Collaborative Working Group on Surface Integrity and Functional Performance of Components as discussed by the authors reported recent progress in experimental and theoretical investigations on surface integrity in material removal processes.
