Methods Of Improvement Of Mechanical And Tribological Properties Of The Surface Of Ss 316l: A Review

Stainless steel 316 L is alloy carbon steel alloy which have been widely used in highly reactive atmospheric conditions for several applications such as food processing equipment, marine applications, architectural applications, medical implants owing to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion inhibitors. However, low hardness and wear resistance properties of this grade of steel have greatly limited its applications. Extensive research has been going on over years to improve the wear resistant properties of the steel either by addition of any wear resistant alloying element or by other surface treatment methods. One economical solution to improve the surface properties of all types of austenitic steel is heat treatment. This paper has an attempt to review different methods of improving the properties such as hardness, wear and corrosion on austenitic stainless steel SS316L.
