There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

This is a viewpoint paper on recent progress in the understanding of the microstructure–
property relations of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). These alloys constitute a class …

We report on the strengthening and strain hardening mechanisms in an aged high-Mn
lightweight steel (Fe-30.4 Mn-8Al-1.2 C, wt.%) studied by electron channeling contrast …

During the last years, the scientific and industrial community has focused on the astonishing
properties of Fe–Mn–Al–C steels. These high advanced steels allow high-density reductions …

While age-hardened austenitic high-Mn and high-Al lightweight steels exhibit excellent
strength-ductility combinations, their properties are strongly degraded when mechanically …

This review introduces the structural phases, microstructural characteristics, and the most
relevant room and cryogenic properties of low density Fe–Mn–Al–C steels. The combination …

The formation of κ-carbides in austenite Fe-30Mn-9Al-1.2 C (wt.%) lightweight steels is
tuned via alloying of Si (0, 1, 2 wt.%), an element that can remarkably raise the activities of Al …

During the past two decades, density-functional (DF) theory has evolved from niche
applications for simple solid-state materials to become a workhorse method for studying a …

Interstitial alloying in CrMnFeCoNi-based high-entropy alloys is known to modify their
mechanical properties. Specifically, strength can be increased due to interstitial solid …

Steel is the global backbone material of industrialized societies, with more than 1.8 billion
tons produced per year. However, steel-containing structures decay due to corrosion …
