New high-silicon corrosion-resistant steel 02Kh8N20S6

Conclusion The large silicon and relatively low chromium concentrations in steel 02Kh8N20S6 (as compared with standard stainless steels) make it possible to obtain high corrosion resistance and resistance to intercrystalline corrosion in highly concentrated nitric acid.I.

The nature of negative creep in austenitic steels Kh18N22V2T2 and Kh12N20T3R

Conclusion The decrease in the length of samples during creep tests at 500–650°C does not mean that no positive creep occurs. It does, but the reduction in the specific volume of the material resulting from redistribution of titanium and nickel preceding the precipitation of secondary phases of the Ni₃Ti type is superposed on the effect of creep. In this case an increase of stress must reduce the intensity of negative creep processes.At negative creep temperatures (500–650°C) the decrease in specific volume evidently depends on the diffusion rates of nickel and titanium and the intermediate condition of the -Ni₃Ti phase being formed, i.e., the degree of its coherence with the matrix.Translated from Metallovedenie i Termicheskaya Obrabotka Metallov, No. 12, pp. 26–29, December, 1968.
