<p>A problem with cold pilgered tubes for OCTG applications is that they can get anisotropic properties with regard to yield strength. One source of anisotropy is texture that is developed during the cold deformation. EBSD measurements have been made on several austenitic stainless steels with different deformations to see what influence the composition has on the texture formation. The same measurements were used to study the influence of grain size on texture formation. The conclusion was that the composition can have an impact on the texture and hence has potential to also affect the anisotropy. The differences in texture cannot be associated with a specific alloying element, but is rather a synergetic effect. It was also concluded that grain structure has no strong influence on texture formation. An evaluation of three different tool designs used for cold pilgering was made. The designs evaluated are referred to as design A, B and C. EBSD measurements showed large deviations in texture in the middle of the wall compared to close to the surface of pilgered OCTG. However, the measurements showed no large differences between the three designs and the texture could not be coupled to the anisotropy.</p>

The definition of a material's biocompatibility necessitates meeting a number of criteria, including high corrosion resistance and desirable interactions of the material's surface with biological species, such as cells, platelets, and serum proteins. SSs offer acceptable resistance to uniform (general) corrosion when used as materials of construction in sorne industrial applications, which is due to the formation of a thin passive oxide film on their surface. [...] / Les aciers inoxydables (AI) 316-L sont fréquemment utilisés dans le domaine biomédical. Par exemple, nous les retrouvons dans les prothèses de hanche et de genou, dans les fixatures orthopédiques et dans les prothèse vasculaires. Pour qu'un matériel soit biocompatible, il doit avoir une résistence élevée à la corrosion. De plus, la surface du matériel doit avoir des intéractions favorables avec les différentes espèces biologiques c'est-à-dire les cellules.[...]

Note:

Industry is constantly searching for improved materials for use in highly demanding applications. The materials chosen must withstand a wide range of temperatures and extended exposure in aggressive environments, including hydrogen gas. Because of the risk of catastrophe if brittle failure occurs, careful material selection is imperative. Austenitic stainless steels may be a likely choice for hydrogen service because their behavior in high pressure hydrogen ranges from no apparent damage to relevant, but generally small ductility loss (13). Because of this Variation in behavior, a single category cannot be established to encompass all austenitic steels and studies must be performed on each type of steel to determine its behavior under specific circumstances. Two steels being currently under consideration for use in hydrogen are Armco 21-6-9 and Tenelon, both are fully austenitic stainless steels which may be used over a wide range of temperatures, including service at liquid nitrogen temperature. / Master of Science / incomplete_metadata
