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 …

The field of biomaterials has become a vital area, as these materials can enhance the
quality and longevity of human life. Metallic materials are often used as biomaterials to …

The adverse effects of nickel ions being released into the human body have prompted the
development of high-nitrogen nickel-free austenitic stainless steels for medical applications …

Tempering of 13 wt.% Cr martensitic stainless steel resulted in nano-sized M 3 C carbides at
300° C, nano-sized Cr-rich M 23 C 6 carbides at 550° C and sub-micron sized Cr-rich M 23 …

The role of nitrogen in the mechanisms of localized corrosion resistance and repassivation
were electrochemically investigated using a nitrogen-bearing austenitic stainless …

Corrosion is an electrochemical phenomenon. It can occur via different modes of attack,
each having its own mechanisms, and therefore there are multiple metrics for evaluating …

A systematic investigation has been performed of the influence of nitrogen alloying on the
pitting corrosion of austenitic stainless steels. The alloys investigated had a base …

Duplex stainless steels consisting of ferrite and austenite are widely used due to their
excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Compared with ferritic stainless …

The electrochemical behaviour of high nitrogen stainless steel in acidic solutions was
studied by potentiodynamic polarization, EIS, Mott–Schottky and XPS. The passive film …

Abstract The Point Defect Model was successfully developed to study the passivation of
316LN. Steel's passive film exhibits n-type semi-conductivity with interstitial cations as the …
