Mechanical properties of rapidly solidified Type 304 stainless steel

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5693945
Rapidly solidified Type 304 stainless steel (SS) powder produced by the centrifugal atomization process was consolidated by hot extrusion techniques. Tensile, creep-rupture, and fatigue tests were performed on the extruded material and the mechanical properties data are compared with those of conventionally prepared wrought material. The properties of the rapidly solidified material are superior or equivalent to conventional Type 304 SS except in the case of tensile elongation which was somewhat lower. Attempts to explain the differences in terms of microstructural observations were only partially successful.
