I welcome questions related to the physical metallurgy of steels, preferably stainless steels.
As a PhD student of the Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology (GIFT), I am working on a ferritic grade of stainless steel.
Graduate Institute of Ferrous Technology affiliated to Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, Republic of Korea. Pohang is home to POSCO, the third largest steel company in the world.

In an extreme case where the tetragonality factor of the BCT crystal structure is zero, it can be treated as the BCC crystal structure and will have an atomic packing factor of 68%. If the tetragonality
First you need to make sure that the composition is right. If yes, then it could be due to the following reasons: If the yield strength is too low in the solution annealed condition, it could be due
The magnet method will not help and I do not know any other simple and cheap method to differentiate AISI 304 from the less costly austenitic grades. The simplest method I can think of is using a portable
When metals are strained, dislocations are generated and glide on certain specific crystallographic glide planes and in certain directions. Dislocations cannot continue their glide forever because they
Slip is a main work hardening mechanism in most metals including pure gold. Because gold has a Face Centered Cubic(FCC) crystal structure, dislocations glide on the {111} planes along the <110> directions
