Abstract:The effect of pre-deformation by cold-rolling on phase composition and nanohardness of a surface layer and resultant tensile properties of Fe-17Cr-13Ni-2.7Mo-1.7Mn-0.6Si-0.01C (wt.%, 316L-type) austenitic stainless steel subjected to an ion-plasma treatment was investigated. The ion-plasma treatment facilitates a formation of inhomogeneous surface layers of ≈18 -25 μm in thickness in steel specimens. Independently of type of initial microstructure, coarse-grained or highly defective deformationassociated one, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
