Abstract
Stainless steels contribute properties and characteristics which are otherwise
unavailable within the alloy systems of the various ferrous alloy groups.
Austenitic stainless steels are the most widely produced stainless steel and are
used considerably at elevated temperatures. Type 304 (sometimes referred to as
18-8 stainless) is the most widely used alloy of the austenitic group. It has a nominal
composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, the addition of molybdenum to an
essentially Type 304 base, produced by Types 316.The addition of titanium to
an essentially Type 304 base, produced by Types 321.
These three different types of austenitic stainless steels, 304L, 316Ti and 321, (suffix
L:10w carbon content and suffix Ti: titanium stabilized), have been investigated in
this scientific report via welding processes to check weldability of these materials by
two different methods (SMA Wand GT A W), and also via the corrosion test applied
on each type by immersing samples of these materials into the Hydrochloric acid
fuming 37% and weighing the difference in their weights at specific periods under
ambient conditions.
