In the present work, Niobium carbide samples were prepared through powder metallurgy
route using spark plasma sintering technique. Some of these samples were heat treated at …

This study aims to improve the quality and durability of materials used in turbocharger
housing, particularly to limit the degradation of automobile engine parts. As a result, niobium …

Commercial bulk hydrogen is mainly produced in petrochemical steam reforming furnaces
inside centrifugally cast Nb-modified HP austenitic stainless steels tubes, which operate at …

In this work, the Thermo-Calc software was used to evaluate the effect of the Nb and Mn
additions on the thermal phases stability for a conventional HT heat-resistant austenitic cast …

The effect of nanosized NbC precipitates on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of high-
strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel in a simulated deep-sea environment was studied through …

Nb–C compounds are potential candidates to achieve high hardness and refractory nature.
We performed a crystal structure search for the Nb–C system using an ab initio evolutionary …

Precipitation behavior of Ti in high strength steels was investigated by means of the
equilibrium solid solubility theory. The contributions of Ti content to yield strength were …

Accelerated thermal aging tests were performed at 400° C for nearly 18,000 h on Z3CN20.
