Preview this chapter:

The high-temperature performance of the nitrogen added 316L stainless steels including the high-temperature mechanical properties, workability and weldability have been investigated in detail by systematic studies with nitrogen contents in the range of 0.07-0.22wt.%. Strength and creep resistance were found to increase with increasing nitrogen content at room and elevated temperatures. However, resistance to creep-fatigue damage, fracture toughness, resistance to fatigue crack growth, workability, and weldability were found to degrade beyond 0.14wt% of nitrogen content at service temperature. Therefore, the maximum nitrogen content in 316L stainless steel is recommended to be 0.14wt% for better high-temperature performance in structural applications of fast reactors.
