DURING development work on fuel elements for fast reactor applications, electron microscope examination by the thin foil technique has been carried out on samples of stainless steel irradiated in the ...

Metallurgical engineer Michael L. Free of the University of Utah offers this explanation: Stainless steel remains stainless, or does not rust, because of the interaction between its alloying elements ...

Fe, <0.02% C, 19-23% Cr, 23-28% Ni, 4-5% Mo, <2.0% Mn, <1.0% Si, <0.045% P, <0.035% S, 1.0-2.0% Cu Grade 904L stainless steel is a non-stabilized austenitic stainless steel with low carbon content.

A study led by University of Oxford and Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers has uncovered how exposure to hydrogen atoms dynamically alters the internal structure of stainless steel. The ...
