48-51 Characterization Martensitic Stainless Steel Surgica.Pdf
CHARACTERIZATION OF LOCALLY PRODUCED MARTENSITIC STAINLESS STEEL SURGICAL GRADE AISI 420A By Muhammad Kamran, Faraz Hussain, Taqi Zahid Butt, Fahad Riaz* Abstract The Martensitic stainless steel surgical grade AISI 420A is one of the major alloys being used in the production of surgical instruments in Pakistan. Till today, this alloy is being imported from Japan and France. Recently this grade has been developed in Pakistan. In this study this locally produced Martensitic stainless steel surgical grade AISI 420A was investigated. The sheet samples were tested for their composition, heat treated by austenizing at 1000 + 20°C, 0 quenched in N2 gas followed by tempering at 200 C and finally tested for their mechanical properties. It was observed that chemical composition fall within the standard composition with minor changes. It was also observed that hardness and tensile properties are within range. Introduction Pakistan is one of the largest countries producing and supplying surgical instruments all over the world. Tonnages of raw material are required for the production purposes. Surgical industry of Pakistan holds a history of more than 100 years, when some British doctors got their surgical instruments repaired from the skilled workers of Sialkot and that was the foundation of Sialkot surgical industry. [1] Surgical Instruments Manufacturers Association of Pakistan (SIMAP) was established during 1958 with an aim to help solving the problems of surgical community. Surgical association has more than 2300 members till date, who are grossly engaged in manufacturing of surgical instruments to meet their export commitments in the International Market. The value of exports of surgical instruments for the financial year 2007-2008 was US $255 Million. -

Report 7333.56-73, Rusting of Welded Joints in Stainless Steel Piping

J D DD, En sneer W..

The material has been stored in a coastal environment at the plant site. The appearance of the rusting ranges from a thin, light brown film over the weld area to darker, uneven streaks. Some examples of this condition are shown in Fioures 1 and 2. In all cases observed, rusting was limited to the area of postweld cleaning. CORROSION RESISTANCE OF STAINLESS STEELS Corrosion phenomena consist of electrochemical reactions between an electrolyte and a metal surface. Iron base alloys generally show a tendency to corrode in the environments encountered in most engineering applications. The surface condition which inhibits the corrosion reaction of stainless steels is called passivity. Chromium, in a minimum proportion of 12 to 15 percent, confers a state of passivity on the iron based alloys called stainless steels. Steels with a chromium content exceeding this limit will form a protective surface film when exposed to oxygen under the proper conditions. The film is believed to be formed by a complex process called chemisorption, and to be responsible for the passivity of the stainless steels. -
WHY DO PARTS RUST? Rust Is a Lot Like Death and Taxes
WHY DO PARTS RUST? Rust is a lot like death and taxes. It is always lurking in the background. It must be factored in as part of the manufacturing processes, with standard operational procedures set-up for its prevention. Many variables in the manufacturing processes can become contributing factors capable of causing rusting or staining of piece parts and components. Four common ones can be identified as: 1) Environmental Conditions 2) Nesting of Parts Processed with Water Extendable Lubricants 3) Interaction of Active Lubricants on Sensitive Surfaces 4) Inter-Plant and Long Distance Shipping of Parts ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS There are various ways that both raw metal stock and finished piece parts can rust due to environmental conditions. The most obvious involve in-house finishing operations such as plating lines and pickling tanks that often result in release of chemicals into air, which subsequently can cause rust. Salts from heat treating operations can also contribute to rust. Storing materials and parts in a high humidity environment without rust protection is another factor. This problem can be due to certain weather conditions, particularly when plant doors and windows are open, allowing contaminated air (pickling and plating fumes) into the plant. Another situation that deserves attention is “wash off” conditions that exist on edges of coil stock and on the surface of finished parts stored in open containers - especially the top layer. Along these lines, snap condensation can occur when the plant heat is turned off or lowered on holidays and weekends.

Color, Taste, and Odor: What You Should Know
Color, Taste, and Odor: What you should know From time to time the MassDEP receives consumer questions or complaints regarding the look, taste or the odor of drinking water. Listed below are common problems with drinking water and their most common causes. Please note that a particular problem in your drinking water may be the result of a cause not listed here; the only way to confirm a cause is to have a certified lab analyze the water and discuss the results with drinking water professional. If you receive water from a public drinking water system it is important to contact the Public Water Supply (PWS) before having a laboratory analyze the water. Information on private water testing is available. Filtering or treating the water may remedy persistent problems; however MassDEP does not recommend filtering or treating your water supply if your water is supplied by a MassDEP- approved PWS. MassDEP also does not regulate or recommend specific treatment systems for private home use. If you decide to use a filtration or treatment device in your home, the Department strongly encourages you to contact National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) for a list of approved devices. If you purchase a treatment device for private home use MassDEP also strongly recommends that it is maintained and provide active maintenance according to the manufacturer's instructions. Failure to maintain the equipment properly may make treatment ineffective and/or may create the potential for contamination. Common problems with drinking water are grouped into three categories: Color problems Taste / odor problems Particles in water If the problem with your water is not described here, if you are on a public water system please contact the public water department in your city or town or the MassDEP Drinking Water Program at your nearest regional MassDEP office. -
Effect of Molybdenum on the Corrosion of Low Alloy Steels in Synthetic Seawater

The Mo-containing low alloy steel showed an excellent corrosion resistance by the long immersion test due to the formation of homogeneous rust layer preventing active dissolution. SEM and XPS analyses were conducted to observe cross-sectional images of rust layer and indentify chemical composition of oxide formed on the surface after immersion test. The results revealed 2− that the MoO4 ions which were oxidized from Mo form the compounds which disturb the approach of aggressive ions.

Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required.
