Austenitic stainless steels are selected as candidate materials for in-core and out-of-core
components of Generation-IV fast reactors due to their excellent operating experience in …

In this paper, the effect of strain rate (in the domain of 0.001 to 10 s− 1) on dynamic
recrystallization (DRX) kinetics in a nitrogen-enhanced 316L (N) austenitic stainless steel …

The influence of nitrogen on the creep behaviour of 316L (N) SS has been studied at
nitrogen levels of 0.07, 0.11, 0.14 and 0.22 wt.%. Creep tests were carried out at 923K at …

Isothermal fatigue (IF) and thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) tests with and without tensile
dwell time at various strain amplitudes were conducted on 316LN stainless steel. The results …

This study ascertains a three-dimensional (3D) numerical modeling employing hybrid
conical-cylindrical heat source concerning the heat transfer, molten fluid flow weld pool …

In this study, we report a method to manufacture heavy stainless steel forgings using a newly-
developed multilayer hot-compression bonding method. In particular, the interfacial healing …

The defect of mixed-grain structure with millimeter-grade coarse grains (MCGs) is frequently
found in heavy forgings, such as nuclear main pipes manufactured from 316LN steel …

The microstructure and properties of water-cooled and air-cooled friction stir welded (FSW)
ultra-high strength high nitrogen stainless steel joints were comparatively studied. With …

Defect-free welded joints were obtained by placing 316 L stainless steel at the retreating
side (case 1) and the advancing side (case 2) of friction stir welds when joining China low …

In this study, the hot deformation behavior of austenitic stainless steel was investigated
using Gleeble-3500 thermomechanical simulator at deformation temperatures in the range …
