316L and 420 Stainless steels were deposited onto AZ9ID commercial magnesium alloy by plasma spray process with various gas flow rate of, TEX>$H_2$ secondary gas. And hardness as well as were track volume, coefficient of friction also had been measured. wear and hardness were measured by using reciprocal configuration tribometer and microghardness tester, respectively. Also, the microstructure of the coatings surface the cross sectional area of coating surface and cross sectional area of coaing/Substrate interface had been analyzed with Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and Optical microscope(OM). Finally, optimal process parameters for the improvement of coating efficiency such as mechanical property and wear behavior were examined.

The toxic metal ion release behaviour and the cytotoxicity of a super stainless steel (S.S.S, 22cr-20Ni -6Mo-0.25N) were investigated The measurement of the amount of static and wear- induced trace metal ion released from the steels was conducted in Hank's balanced salt solution using an electrothermal atomic absdrption spectrometry equiped with Uaphite furnace. And the in vitro cytotoxicity of the materials was assesed in cell culture. The static dissolution rates of Fe and Cr ions from the S.S.S were significantly lower than those of 316L SS. However, the Ni ion release from the S.S.S during the first 4 weeks was yester than that from 316L 55 by 15-45%. Also, the wear-in- duces dissolution rates from the steels were not correlated either with their elemental composition rates or with the static metal ion release rates. The S.S.S did not deteriorate the osteoblasts viability. And no toxic response was observed from the macrophages cultured for 7 days in RFMI 1640 medium immersed with the S.S.S specimens.

TiN or Ti/TiN was coated on stainless steel as bipolar plate in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) to improve their corrosion resistance and electric conductivity, and their properties were examined under fuel cell operating condition. After 200 hours operation, the behaviors for the corrosion, crack and dissolution of coating layer were investigated by various techniques. The corrosion and exfoliation of coating layer were considerably generated except for SUS316L-Ti/TiN after fuel cell operation even if the electric conductivity and corrosion resistance of coated stainless steel bipolar plates were improved. The adoption of Ti layer between TiN layer and the surface of stainless steel enhanced the adhesion of TiN layer and decreased the possibility of corrosion by the increase of coating layer.

This study was performed to observe the change of stainless steel pipe interacting with alkaline solution. We used STS316L and STS304 as samples which were soaked in alkaline solution. We measured the samples by use of FE-SEM, EDX, SIMS to observe the surface and depth profile of both samples. The result showed that the precipitate appeared on the surface of both samples from 5 days. but the precipitate was confirmed to be decreased as time passes. but the quantitative change of precipitates at both samples was different as time passed. The EDX showed that the precipitate is Potassium from solution of Electrolysis. The result also showed that the primary elements of stainless steel pipeline and of Alkaline Solution were changed. The change of primary elements was severe between 5 days to 16 days and was stable around 40 days at both samples. The reaction of STS316L with alkaline solution was lower than STS304. We hoped that this study would be the foundation of developing the electrode of the alkaline hydrogen generator.

This This study aims to verify burr formation and to remove the burrs in micro-channel fabrication using micro-machining tools. The machining processes are combined with micro-milling and magnetic abrasive deburring for AISI316 stainless steel. Depending on the micro-milling conditions that are applied, burrs are formed around the side walls. Magnetic abrasive deburring is used to remove these burrs. AISI316 stainless steel is a nonferrous material and its magnetic flux density, which is an important parameter for efficient magnetic abrasive deburring, is low. To enhance this magnetic flux density, we design and build a magnetic array table. The effect of removing burrs is evaluated via SEM and a surface tester.

Densification behavior of 316L stainless steel power under die pressing was studied. The efects of friction between the powder and die wall under different die pressing modes were also investigated. The elastoplastic constitutive equations based on the yield functions of Fleck-Gurson and of Shima and Oyane were implemented into finite element program(ABAQUS) to simulate die compaction processes. The finite element results were compared with experimental data for 316L stainless steel powder under die pressing.

Multipass welds of 316L stainless steel have been widely employed to the pipes of Liquid Metal Reactors. Owing to localized heating and a subsequent rapid cooling by the welding process, residual stress arises in the weld of the pipe. In this study, the residual stresses in the 316L stainless steel pipe welds were calculated by the finite element method using the ANSYS code. Also, the residual stresses both on the surface and in the interior of the thickness were measured by the HRPD(High Resolution Powder Diffractometer) instrumented in the HANARO Reactor. The experimental data and the calculated results were compared and the characteristics of the distribution of the residual stress were discussed.

In present study, a stochastic model is developed for the low cycle fatigue life prediction and reliability assessment of 316L stainless steel under variable multiaxial loading. In the proposed model, fatigue phenomenon is considered as a Markov process, and damage vector and reliability are defined on every plane. Any low cycle fatigue damage evaluating method can be included in the proposed model. The model enables calculation of statistical reliability and crack initiation direction under variable multiaxial loading, which are generally not available. In present study, a critical plane method proposed by Kandil et al., maximum tensile strain range, and von Mises equivalent strain range are used to calculate fatigue damage. When the critical plane method is chosen, the effect of multiple critical planes is also included in the proposed model. Maximum tensile strain and von Mises strain methods are used for the demonstration of the generality of the proposed model. The material properties and the stochastic model parameters are obtained from uniaxial tests only. The stochastic model made of the parameters obtained from the uniaxial tests is applied to the life prediction and reliability assessment of 316L stainless steel under variable multiaxial loading. The predicted results show good accordance with experimental results.

In a manufacturing technique of the sintered filter, pressureless sintering method has good permeability, it is not need the binder and lubricant used on compacting process, so it has little contamination and it is easy to control the pore size and shape but the mechanical strength is low relatively and it is difficult that parts of complicate form are manufactured. In the case of manufacturing the filter by press and sintering method, in order to be satisfactory characteristic of un-pressed filter, in this study sintered metal filter fabricated by using 30-40mesh stainless steel 316L powder and additive agents. Porosity and structure of pores, permeability and mechanical strength of the sintered filter were investigated with the variation sintering conditions. Porosity was nearly constant about $60{\sim}70%$, density, permeability and mechanical strength were changed markedly with quantity of additive materials and sintering conditions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate corrosion resistance of additive manufactured 316L stainless steel and alloy 625 powders widely used in corrosion resistance alloys of marine industry in comparison with cast alloys. Directed Energy Deposition (DED) method was used in this work for sample production. DED parameter adjustment was also studied for optimum manufacturing and for minimizing the influence of defects on corrosion property. Additive manufactured alloys showed lower corrosion resistance in seawater compared to cast alloys. The reason for the degradation of anti-corrosion property was speculated to be due to loss of microstructural integrity intrinsic to the additive manufacturing process. Application of heat treatment with various conditions after DED was attempted. The effect of heat treatments was analyzed with a microstructure study. It was found that 316L and alloy 625 produced by the DED process could recover their expected corrosion resistance when heat treated at 1200 ℃.
