Summary of the lecture
This course provides an in-depth introduction to high-performance stainless steels, focusing on their classification, metallurgy, mechanical and physical properties, corrosion resistance, fabrication, and applications. It explains the behavior of austenitic, ferritic, and duplex stainless steels in aggressive environments and highlights the role of alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen in achieving superior performance compared to conventional stainless steels.
What you will learn:
-
- Classify high-performance stainless steels into austenitic, ferritic, and duplex families and describe their key characteristics.
- Explain the influence of chemical composition and microstructure on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
- Understand phase relationships and the formation of secondary phases affecting performance and fabrication.
- Compare the corrosion behavior of high-performance stainless steels in acids, chlorides, seawater, and other aggressive environments.
- Apply basic guidelines for fabrication, welding, machining, and heat treatment of high-performance stainless steels.
- Select appropriate stainless steel grades for specific industrial applications based on service conditions.
