Item Weldments of AISI grade 316 stainless steel, having a ferrite content of 4-6% and a variety of nitrogen concentrations were prepared using a modified element implant technique. Charpy impact specimens prepared from these weldments were subjected to a variety of aging treatments. Impact toughness decreases with aging time at all aging temperatures. Nitrogen is found to be beneficial to toughness. An empirical relation connecting the aging temperature, aging time and nitrogen content with toughness has been developed which can be used to estimate the time for embrittlement.(Indian Academy of Sciences, Estimation of embrittlement during aging of AISI 316 stainless steel TIG welds) Nayak, J.; Udupa, K.R.; Hebbar, K.R.; Nayak, H.V.S.2004Item Simulated weldments of AISI grade 304 stainless steel having a ferrite content of 4-6% with three levels of nitrogen (0.03, 0.08, and 0.11 wt-%) were prepared using a modified elemental implant technique. From these weldments, subsize Charpy impact specimens were prepared and subjected to aging treatment at different temperatures, 623-748 K, and for different times, 1000-5000 h. Impact toughness curves for these aged samples were generated by testing at various temperatures from 77 K to 300 K. From the impact curves the upper shelf energy (USE) and lower shelf energy (LSE) were determined. It was observed that both USE and LSE decreased with aging time at all temperatures. Nitrogen seems to offer a beneficial effect as far as impact toughness is concerned, as both USE and LSE values increased with increasing nitrogen content. The worst aging conditions were identified as 748 K, 2000 h at the lowest nitrogen level of 0.03 wt-%. An empirical relation connecting the aging temperature, aging time, and nitrogen content to the LSE was developed, which can be used to predict the time for embrittlement at a given nitrogen level and aging temperature. © 2005 Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.(Prediction of embrittlement during aging of nuclear grade AISI 304 stainless steel TIG welds) Nayak, J.; Udupa, K.R.; Hebbar, K.R.; Nayak, H.V.S.2005Item The corrosion inhibition of maraging steel under weld aged condition by 1(2E)-1-(4-Aminophenyl)-3-(2-Thienyl)prop-2-en-1-one in 1.5 M hydrochloric acid medium(Springer New York LLC barbara.b.bertram@gsk.com, 2012) Sanatkumar, B.S.; Nayak, J.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.The influence of 1(2E)-1-(4-Aminophenyl)- 3-(2-Thienyl)prop-2-en-1-one (ATPI) on the corrosion behavior of weld aged maraging steel in 1.5 M hydrochloric acid was studied by potentiodynamic polarization method and AC impedance (EIS) technique at different temperatures. The results showed that the inhibition efficiency of ATPI increased with the increase in the concentration of inhibitor and decreased with the increase in temperature. ATPI acts as a mixed type inhibitor without affecting the mechanism of the hydrogen evolution reaction or iron dissolution. The adsorption of ATPI on a weld aged maraging steel surface obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation. Both activation and thermodynamic parameters were calculated and discussed. ATPI inhibits the corrosion through both physisorption and chemisorption on the alloy surface. The surface morphology of the weld aged maraging steel specimens in the presence and the absence of the inhibitors was studied by the respective SEM images. © ACA and OCCA 2011.Item Influence of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl benzoate on the hydrogen evolution and corrosion inhibition of 18 Ni 250 grade weld aged maraging steel in 1.0 M sulfuric acid medium(2012) Sanatkumar, B.S.; Nayak, J.; Nityananda Shetty, A.N.Electrochemical corrosion behavior and hydrogen evolution reaction of weld aged maraging steel have been investigated, in 1.0 M sulfuric acid solution containing different concentrations of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl benzoate (CPOB). The data obtained from polarization technique showed that the corrosion current density (i corr) and the hydrogen evolution rate decrease, indicating a decrease in the corrosion rate of weld aged maraging steel as well as an increase in the inhibition efficiency (?%) with the increase in inhibitor concentration. Changes in impedance parameters were indicative of adsorption of CPOB on the metal surface, leading to the formation of protective film. Both activation (E a) and thermodynamic parameters (?G ads 0, ?H ads 0 and ?S ads 0) were calculated and discussed. The adsorption of CPOB on the weld aged maraging steel surface obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) study confirmed the formation of an adsorbed protective film on the metal surface. © 2012, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.

Electrochemical measurements were carried out using the potentiodynamic polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed an increase in the corrosion rate with the increases in temperature as well with increase in the concentration of the corrosion medium. The results obtained from the Tafel extrapolation technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were in good agreement. Activation parameters were evaluated using the Arrhenius equation and transition state equation. The surface morphology of the corroded specimen was compared with that of the un-corroded sample by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
