I am a 4th year PhD student in Mechanical Engineering. My project is "Application of austenitic stainless steels 316L and 310S for future cladding materials". Thermo-mechanical treatment is the key processing to engineer the microstructure to improve the oxidation resistance of these alloys. For characterization, I am implementing Electron Back Scatter Diffraction and X-Ray Diffraction for micro and macro texture measurement in this research. Outcome of this study has a great impact on oxidation resistance of these alloys in different media.
