Abstract
The author studied the effects of Cb on the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of an 18/8 steel, and the results obtained are compared with those of Ti.
The compositions of the samples are as follow:-
From the experiments, it is concluded that the quantitys of Cb which is necessary for eliminating intergranular susceptibility of 18/8 steel, is more than five times the C content, and within such content, Cb reduces more or less the corrosion resistance of 18/8 steel to some corroding mediums, but it has far less effect on the physical and mechanical properties of 18/8 steel when compared with Ti used for the same purpose.
