Changing of standard stainless composition (Iron alloy with minimum % of chromium is 10.5%, 1.2% of carbon and ferrous, carbon chromium) which can improve,
a. Anticorrosion properties (chemical properties) or any other
b. Mechanical, physical properties.
By adding some amount of elements like Nickel, Molybdenum, Titanium and Manganese etc. into Stainless steels composition the mechanical properties can be further improved.
Could anyone help me by sharing the suggested compositions ,which we can add to improve their properties?
Motto: I am aiming to perform to different combinations of compositions in-order to achieve better properties than of existing stainless steel properties.
Dear Deepak Anvesh Daliparthi
Improvement of mechanical properties by changing the general composition of a stainless steel by adding some other elements is a good task. In this respect, I'm afraid that you can't stand on much interest for this topic as you don't pointing your special problem that with what steel grade and what is the qualitative and quantitative goal for such properties improvements. However, there are many articles referred to the role of elements addition and their effects on steel mechanical properties, you can started with.

Dear Deepak,
There are three types of stainless steel Ferritic, Austeniric and Matensitic. In these types, we have different grades like 200 , 300 and 400 series? Which stainless steel you are referring and what mechanical property you would like to improve.
Hi,
It is a general principle in Metallurgy that mechanical properties can be changed/ modifies by either changing the composition or by proper heat treatment. This is especially applicable in the cases of Carbon ,Low alloy and High alloy steels like Stainless steels. Your question is very very vague and what exactly you want to know? Mechanical properties can be changed and some other specific properties included by changing the chemistry and the heat treatment. Pl let us know what you want----Prof. A.V.Sethuraman
Mechanical properties will certainly alter by changing the composition. But you have to specify, in which property you are interested. Because you have to compromise with other properties, that is they may reduce. Its better to aim at one or two properties and alter the composition accordingly
