4 Abstract: Austenitic Stainless steels are sensitized when exposed to elevated temperature range of
470-750°C causes carbide precipitations at grain boundaries. Carbide precipitation can have
deleterious effects on the resistance to intergranular corrosion and reduces the tensile properties of
stainless steels, specifically strength and toughness. This paper evaluates an optimum heat treatment
strategy for solution annealing of AISI 304 stainless steel after sensitization. Standard tensile and
Hardness test specimens were fabricated using precision Lathe Machine. These samples were
subjected to various heat treatment sequences, consisting of Sensitization at 660°C, followed by air
cooling and solution annealed at five different temperatures: 1010°C, 1050°C, 1090°C, 1140°C and
1190°C, followed by water quenching. Heat treated samples were then mechanically tested for
Hardness and Tensile properties. The influence of heat treatment process and temperature on
mechanical properties of as-received, sensitized and solution annealed 304 stainless steels were
evaluated. The investigation reveals that the sensitized samples give the highest hardness value at 666
0 C while highest hardness value was obtained on temperature of 1090 0 C for solution annealed 304
stainless steels. This temperature is found to be the optimum to avoid grain growth on solution
annealed 304 stainless steels.  Collapse
