Abstract

The influence of nitrogen on tensile properties of 316L stainless steels has been studied for nitrogen levels of 0·07, 0·11, 0·14 and 0·22 wt-%. Tensile tests have been carried out at several temperatures in the range 300–1123 K. Nitrogen was found to be beneficial for tensile strength at all the test temperatures. Yield strength and ultimate tensile strength were found to increase linearly with increase in nitrogen content at all the test temperatures. Tensile ductility showed a non-monotonic variation with nitrogen content and test temperature. Equations have been developed to predict yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of 316L stainless steel as a function of nitrogen content and tensile test temperature.
