More recently modified stainless steels have been used to produce various structural elements that work in complex operating conditions. Stainless steel X8CrNiS18-9 (standard EN 10088-3: 2005) is the most commonly used austenitic stainless steel due to its good machinability. This steel has high mechanical and working properties than...

The basic characteristics of the chemical composition of steel with improved machinability (X8CrNiS18-9) are the increased content of sulphur (0.15-0.45%), phosphorus (0.07-0.11%) and manganese (0.5-1.5%). Sulphur by creating sulphide inclusions reduces friction and cutting resistance, and increases the brittleness of the chip.Considering its harmf...

Stainless steel plays an important role in all emerging technologies. Detrimental effects of inclusions in steel do not only depend on their sizes, shape, distribution, but also on their chemical composition and mechanical properties. For this reason, the control of formation of non metallic inclusions and the characterization presen...

The complicated reactions are appeared in the liquid iron under the influence of interaction parameters of basic and added elements during oxidation or addition of certain elements. These reactions may explain the appearance some of phenomena during the production with the negativeconsequences on the final material. Some phenomena as defe...
