Carbide-free bainite (CFB) steel with metastable austenite and refined microstructures has
been demonstrated to be a promising alternative to conventional pearlitic rail and wheel …

In the pursuit of lightweight, durable steel, we have successfully developed a
multicomponent structure in AISI 9254 spring steel using a two-stage quenching and …

This study presents a comprehensive and innovative approach to tailoring the microstructure
of AISI 9254 steel using a quenching and partitioning (Q&P) process, demonstrating …

Controlling continuous cooling is an important means to control the most important
mechanical properties of bainitic steel for frogs in railroad applications. In this paper, a …

AISI 4140 steel under annealing conditions was subjected to single-and multi-austempering
heat treatments. The mechanical performance of the compact tension (CT) specimens was …

The majority of wear-related problems are connected to crushing machines because
hammer failure frequently causes machine failure which eventually leads to machine …

In this study, we investigate the relation between microstructure and fatigue crack
propagation mechanisms in three commercial hot-rolled thick-plate advanced high-strength …

Fatigue damage of welded joints is gradually becoming one of the key problems affecting
the service safety of steel bridges under repeated vehicle loads. The fatigue crack growth …

The issue of fatigue and fracture in high strength steel (HSS) has always been a hot
research direction due to long time service under cyclic loading. For studying the fatigue …

The fatigue crack growth rate of materials is an essential aspect of the fatigue life prediction.
Within the container ship industry, crack-arrest thick steel plates are extensively utilized to …
