Alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) stainless steels are a new class of heat-resistant materials that are gaining attention for their ability to form a protective alumina layer instead of the more ...
This phenomenon is particularly significant in high-temperature applications, where materials like austenitic stainless steels and copper are commonly used. Recent research has focused on ...
Grade 304 is essentially an austenitic chromium alloy which is also called an “18/8” stainless because the make-up of the steel is 8% nickel and 18% chromium. The chromium content promotes the ...
