Studies Regarding the properties Modification of AISI 310S Steel

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of classical heat treatments, which can be applied to AISI310S steel samples. The influence of these heat treatments was highlighted by micro-hardness measurements – Vickers method, and also the structural analysis made on electronic microscope, at different magnitudes. The AISI 310S steel is part of chrome-nickel stainless steels and presents good resistance properties. These properties are due to principal alloying elements (nickel, chrome) and recommend its being used in corrosive medium and high temperatures
