5. Ultra-high strenght TWIP steel with high chromium contentPavel Podaný, Tomáš Studecký, Tomas Gregor, Radek Prochazka, Aleksandra Kocijan, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: A new ultra-high strength steel with a fully austenitic microstructure and twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) effect has been developed. TWIP effect gives this steel a good combination of high strength of over 1000 MPa and ductility of over 35%. This new steel has a high chromium content, which increases its corrosion resistance. By combining cold rolling and annealing, the steel has achieved a very fine austenitic microstructure with an average grain diameter of 2.85 µm. This steel could be used for structural applications or components that need to withstand high levels of stress, deformation and corrosion environment.
Keywords: TWIP steels, corrosion resistance, microstructure, tensile strength, plasticity

6. High-temperature oxidation of boiler steels at 650 °CJaka Burja, Barbara Šetina, Borut Žužek, Tilen Balaško, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the formation, composition and
behaviour of oxide layers during the high-temperature oxidation of four different steel alloys (16Mo3,
13Cr, T24 and P91) at a uniform temperature of 650 °C. The study is aimed at assessing the oxidation
damage due to short-term overheating. The research combines CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse
Diagrams) calculations, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and advanced microscopy techniques, in-
cluding scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), to elucidate
the complex mechanisms controlling oxidation kinetics and oxide layer development. CALPHAD
calculations were used to determine the thermodynamically stable phases for each steel type at 650
◦C and different oxygen activities. The results showed different phase compositions, highlighting
the importance of the chromium content in steel for the formation of oxide layers. The different
oxidation kinetics and oxide layer compositions are presented and associated with the increased risk
of material degradation due to overheating. These results have significant implications for industrial
applications, mainly the susceptibility to oxidation of low-alloyed steels like 16Mo3 and 13 Cr and
contribute to a deeper understanding of oxidation processes in steels.

7. Activation and repassivation of stainless steels in artificial brines as a function of pHEmir Mujanović, Bojan Zajec, Tadeja Kosec, Andraž Legat, Stefan Hönig, Gerald Zehethofer, Gregor Mori, 2019, original scientific article Abstract: When planning oil wells with stainless steel components, two possible reasons for depassivation have to be considered-chemical depassivation caused by acidizing jobs and mechanical depassivation caused by various tools and hard particles. The study explores conditions causing chemical activation of investigated steels and circumstances under which repassivation occurs after activation. The main focus of the study is to determine, how quickly various steels can repassivate under different conditions and to find pH values where repassivation will occur after depassivation. The investigated steels were ferritic (martensitic or bainitic) in the cases of 13Cr, 13Cr6Ni2Mo, and 17Cr4Ni2Mo, austenitic in the case of 17Cr12Ni2Mo, and duplex (austenitic and ferritic) in the case of 22Cr5Ni3Mo. Potentiodynamic experiments were employed to obtain electrochemical properties of investigated steels, followed by immersion tests to find ultimate conditions, where the steels still retain their passivity. After obtaining this information, scratch tests were performed to study the repassivation kinetics. It was found that repassivation times are similar for nearly all investigated steels independent of their chemical composition and microstructure.
