Tribo-Behavior and Corrosion Properties of Welded 304L and 316L Stainless Steel
Source abstract
Abstract
The present study investigates the electrochemical corrosion response and tribo-behavior of 304L and 316L stainless steel welded by gas metal arc welding (GMAW), which offered a high deposition rate. During this research, the metallurgically prepared welded samples were subjected to a tribological test and a corrosion test. The wear results were favorable for 316L steel, and it showed a lower coefficient of friction than the 304L specimen. These samples also underwent characterization studies, such as X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to identify the different phases obtained on the cooling of the weld pool. Finally, both specimens were compared against their mechanical properties. Owing to the above properties, the 316L sample showed lasting durability, as compared to the 304L steel. The primary compositional difference is the higher presence of molybdenum and chromium in the 316L steel, compared to the 304L stainless steel.
