Effect of proof testing on the flaw growth characteristics of 304 stainless steel

The effects of proof overload frequency and magnitude on the cyclic crack growth rates of 304 stainless steel weldments were investigated. The welding procedure employed was typical of those used on over-the-road cryogenic vessels. Tests were conducted at room temperature with an overload ratio of 1.50 to determine the effect of overload frequency. Effect of overload magnitude was determined from tests where a room temperature overload was applied between blocks of 1000 cycles applied at 78 K (-320 F). The cyclic stress level used in all tests was typical of the nominal membrane stress generally encountered in full scale vessels. Test results indicate that judicious selection of proof overload frequency and magnitude can reduce crack growth rates for cyclic stress levels.

The Structure and Properties of Diffusion Assisted Bonded Joints in 17-4 PH, Type 347, 15-5 PH and Nitronic 40 Stainless Steels

Diffusion assisted bonds are formed in 17-4 PH, 15-5 PH, type 347 and Nitronic 40 stainless steels using electrodeposited copper as the bonding agent. The bonds are analyzed by conventional metallographic, electron microprobe analysis, and scanning electron microscopic techniques as well as Charpy V-notch impact tests at temperatures of 77 and 300 K. Results are discussed in terms of a postulated model for the bonding process.

RF sputtered silicon and hafnium nitrides: Properties and adhesion to 440C stainless steel

Silicon nitride and hafnium nitride coatings were deposited by reactive RF sputtering on oxidized and unoxidized 440C stainless steel substrates. Sputtering was done in mixtures of argon and nitrogen gases from pressed powder silicon nitride and from hafnium metal targets. Depositions were at two background pressures, 8 and 20 mtorr, and at two different fractions (f) of nitrogen in argon, 0.25 and 0.60, for hafnium nitride and at f = 0.25 for silicon nitride. The coatings and the interface between the coating and substrates were investigated by X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and Auger electron spectroscopy. A Knoop microhardness of 1650 + or - 100 kg/sq mm was measured for hafnium nitride and 3900 + or - 500 kg/sq mm for silicon nitride. The friction coefficients between a 440C rider and the coatings were measured under lubricated conditions. Scratch test results demonstrate that the adhesion of hafnium nitride to both oxidized and unoxidized 440C is superior to that of silicon nitride. Oxidized 440C is found to have increased adhesion, to both nitrides, over that of unoxidized 440C.

Proof Testing Of Stainless-Steel Bolts

Report describes study of development of method for nondestructive proof testing of bolts made of A286 stainless steel. Based on concept that the higher load bolt survives, the smaller the largest flaw and, therefore, the longer its fatigue life after test. Calculations and experiments increase confidence in nondestructive proof tests.

Tribological behavior of 440C martensitic stainless steel from -184 C to 750 C

Characterization of the coefficient of friction and wear rate of 440C stainless steel is needed to understand the effects of frictional heating in the bearings of the High Pressure Oxygen Turbopump of the Space Shuttle Main Engine. The coefficient of friction and wear rate have been measured over a range of temperature varying from liquid oxygen temperature (-184 C) to 750 C. The normal load has also been varied resulting in a variation of Hertzian stress from 0.915 to 3.660 GPa while the surface velocity has been varied from 0.5 to 2.0 m/s.

Corrosion Behavior of Stainless Steel 304 and Nickel 625 Under Iodine Vapor at 300 °C

The chemical, structural, and microstructural behavior of stainless steel 304 (SS 304) and nickel 625 (Ni 625) were probed after exposure to iodine vapor laminar flow at 300 °C. This work was conducted in support of the development of in-space propulsion utilizing iodine as a propellant. The kinetics of corrosion was measured in a custom-built iodine-compatible thermogravimetric analyzer rig at 300 °C in which samples were exposed to an iodine laminar vapor flow of 1 mg/min (carried by 20 mL/min argon gas) for up to 31 days. Samples were characterized after the experiment by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry. All samples formed scales consisting mainly of metal oxyiodides showing different chemistry, microstructure, and crystalline phases. The paralinear rate law best describes the kinetics of oxidation of the samples. SS 304 exhibited slightly slower kinetics of oxidation (106±3·10(exp –5) mg/sq.cm/day) than Ni 625 (122±3·10(exp –5) mg/sq.cm/day) in the low-oxygen and low-water environment.

Test procedures and results are given for three types of semipermanent sleeve-type connections for stainless-steel tubing. Subject to the limited resistances to corrosion and vibration, all three types are found to be suitable for extremes in reliability and environment, if given close control during manufacture.
