 SAMPLE LITERATURE REVIEW

This section includes the review of the literature related to the properties, mechanical behavior and
applications of ferritic stainless steel AISI409.

Tadepalli et al. (2020) [96] studied about the FSS and mentioned that the research on the FSS has been
increasing day by day as functional material to be utilized in various applications such as heat
exchangers, automobile industry, structural material etc. due to their high resistance to stress corrosion
cracking.

Gao et al. (2020) [97] mentioned that the FSS can be used as a substitute to chromium nickel based
austenitic stainless steel for applications like heat exchanger shell and boiler exhaust due to its stress
corrosion cracking resistance and low cost.

Kose et al. (2019) [98] mentioned that the FSS has been widely used in applications such as heat
exchanger, refinery equipment, solar water heater , automotive industry etc. However, the non-occurrence
of any interphase during the solidification, grain coarsening and fully ferrite structure limited the use for
the applications that requires welding.

Cashel and Baddoo (2014) [94] described in detail about the ferritic stainless steel, its essential
requirements and recent research for use in structural applications. Authors mentioned that the
mechanical and corrosion resistance properties of FSS make them a candidate material in wide range of
application. However, it suffers from degradation in impact toughness at cryogenic temperatures.
