Due to a high number density of grain boundaries acting as point defect sinks, ultrafine-grained materials are expected to be more resistant to irradiation damage. In this context, ultrafine-grained 316 austenitic stainless steel samples have been fabricated by high pressure torsion. Their behavior under ion irradiation has been studied using atom probe tomography. Results are compared with those obtained in an ion irradiated conventional coarse-grained steel. The comparison shows that the effects of irradiation are limited and that intragranular and intergranular features are smaller in the ultrafine-grained alloy. Using cluster dynamic modeling, results are interpreted by a higher annihilation of point defects at grain boundaries in the ultrafine-grained steel.

Intercomparison of Indexable Cutting Inserts' Wear Progress and Chip Formation During Machining Hardened Steel AISI 4337 and Austenitic Stainless Steel AISI 316 L.
Materials (Basel)

This article deals with a mutual comparison of indexable cutting inserts of the CNMG 120408 type from two different manufacturers during the machining of hardened steel AISI 4337 and austenitic stainless steel AISI 316 L. The main goal is to analyse the different wear processes depending on the difference in the manufacturer's design and also depending on the properties of the different machined materials. The progress of the wear of the main spine of the tool, the types of wear and the service life of the cutting edge were monitored, with the achievement of the critical value VB = 300 µm being the standard.

This study investigated changes in the crystal lattice, tribological properties and friction mechanism of AISI 316 steel irradiated with swift 160 MeV xenon ions. The irradiation process caused the increased roughness of the steel surface and the swelling of the material. The thickness of the irradiated layer increased by about 13 nm.

Article Synopsis
- - In directed energy deposition (DED), the grain structure of deposited materials is influenced by both the initial solidification grain structure and the impact of upper thermal cycles on lower layers' grain structure.
- - The study focuses on the austenitic stainless steel 316 L and examines how different strains and thermal conditions affect grain size and geometric dislocation density (GND), revealing that dynamic recrystallization requires specific levels of strain and temperature.
- - Results show that under low strain (<2%) and high temperatures (400-1200 °C), coarse initial grains undergo complete coarsening, while fine initial grains only partially recrystallize; greater strains and lower temperatures yield more nucleation sites, leading to less grain coarsening
Effects of Mean Normal Stress and Microstructural Properties on Deformation Properties of Ultrahigh-Strength TRIP-Aided Steels with Bainitic Ferrite and/or Martensite Matrix Structure.

The effects of mean normal stress on the deformation properties such as the strain-hardening, strain-induced martensite transformation, and micro-void initiation behaviors of low-carbon ultrahigh-strength TRIP-aided bainitic ferrite (TBF), bainitic ferrite/martensite (TBM), and martensite (TM) steels were investigated to evaluate the various cold formabilities. In addition, the deformation properties were related to the microstructural properties such as the matrix structure, retained austenite characteristics, and second-phase properties. Positive mean normal stress considerably promoted strain-induced martensite transformation and micro-void initiation, with an increased strain-hardening rate in an early strain range in all steels.

Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), recognized for its capability to fabricate large-scale, complex parts, stands out due to its significant deposition rates and cost-effectiveness, positioning it as a forward-looking manufacturing method. In this research, we employed two welding currents to produce samples of 316 austenitic stainless steel utilizing the Cold Metal Transfer wire arc additive manufacturing process (CMT-WAAM). This study initially evaluated the maximum allowable arc travel speed (MAWFS) and the formation characteristics of the deposition bead, considering deposition currents that vary between 100 A and175 A in both CMT and CMT pulse(CMT+P) modes.
