This paper aims at manufacturing stainless steel clad (SSC) rebars by metal deposition and a hot rolling method as well as characterizing its interface features and mechanical properties. The interface of the SSC rebar is relatively flat and clean, exhibiting a metallurgical bonding state at the microscale. Decarburization occurred at the interface in the carbon steel side of the SSC rebar. The diffusion of C, Cr, as well as Mn was measured across the interface of the SSC rebar, and the diffusion distance of Cr and Mn was found at 32 µm and 25 µm, respectively. The Vickers hardness testing in the transition zone of the SSC rebar near the carbon side showed 545 HV0.2 due to the martensite phase formed by the diffusion of key elements C, Cr, and Mn. The microstructure in the transition zone near the stainless steel reveals the duplex structure of martensite and ferrite. The carbide precipitations were observed near the interface, both in the transition zone and in the base metal of the stainless steel zone. The yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation of the SSC rebar were found as 423 MPa, 602 MPa, and 22%. No macroscopic crack was observed after the positive or negative bending tests.

Fine blanking is a highly productive process of industrial mass production with which high quality components in particular but not exclusively for the automotive industry are produced. The manufacturing process faces its limits at elevated tensile strengths of the materials to be processed. Consequently, high-strength steels can currently only be fine blanked to a limited extent. This can be overcome by lowering the flow stress of high-strength steels by means of inductive heating. A steel of high importance especially for industries with high hygiene standards such as medical and nutrition production is the stainless steel X5CrNi18-10 (1.4301). As a metastable austenitic steel which can initiate cutting impact on the press through martensitization, fine blanking of stainless steel is a challenge. X5CrNi18-10 is not a high-strength steel per se but becomes difficult to process due to the high hardness of the martensite phase, known as transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect. Thus, in order to combine the possible advantages of the fine blanking process with inductive heating and the important properties of stainless steel, fine blanking of this steel was investigated with inductive heating prior to the fine blanking. The process forces and product quality properties such as die roll were investigated and found to be advantageous in comparison to non-heated fine blanking specimens of the same steel. The process forces and the die roll height decreased due to the heating.

Stainless steels have widespread applications due to their good corrosion resistance, but for certain types of large naval constructions, other requirements are imposed such as high strength and toughness , and modified magnetic characteristics.The magnetic characteristics of a 302 type metastable austenitic stainless steel has been assessed after various cold rolling treatments designed to increase strength by strain inducement of martensite. A grade 817M40 low alloy medium carbon steel was used as a reference material.The metastable austenitic stainless steel after solution treatment possesses a fully austenitic microstructure. However its tensile strength , in the solution treated condition , is low.Cold rolling results in the strain induced transformation to α’- martensite in austenitic matrix and enhances the tensile strength. However , α’-martensite is ferromagnetic , and its introduction to an otherwise fully paramagnetic matrix alters the magnetic response of the material. An example of the mixed martensitic-retained austenitic microstructure obtained after the cold rolling experiment is provided in the SEM micrograph of Figure 1.

Abstract METGLAS MBF-30A is a brazing foil in ductile, flexible metallic-glass form (a similar grade, MBF-30, is identical except that it has larger dimensional tolerances). This foil provides an alloy with high strength at both elevated and room temperatures. It can be used to join highly stressed stainless steel and heat-resisting alloy components. The excellent flow characteristics of this alloy recommend it for assemblies with good fit-up and tight-tolerance joints. It works well on thin-foil, honeycomb designs and on fairly heavy components. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and microstructure. It also includes information on heat treating. Filing Code: Ni-273.
