Abstract
316L stainless steel is used in various industrial applications including chemical, biomedical and mechanical industries due to its good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Recycling of 316L stainless steel scrap without significantly reducing its value has received recently great attention because of the environmental regulations. In the current work, 316L stainless steel scrap was recycled via casting using Skull induction melting technique. The casted products subsequently subjected to laser surface melting process to improve its surface properties to be used for harsh environment. The results showed defect free surfaces with homogeneous microstructures. Nano size grains were also obtained due to rapid solidification process. Such nano size grains are preferred for extending the usage of the 316L stainless steel in new applications.Corresponding author: E-Mail: elgazzar.ha@gmail.com
