Over many decades, significant efforts have been made to improve the strength-elongation
product of advanced high strength steels (AHSSs) by creating tailored multi-phase …

Single-phase high-and medium-entropy alloys with face-centred cubic (fcc) structure can
exhibit high tensile ductility, and excellent toughness,, but their room-temperature strengths …

A wide variety of industrial applications require materials with high strength and ductility.
Unfortunately, the strategies for increasing material strength, such as processing to create …

Steels with sub-micrometre grain sizes usually possess high toughness and strength, which
makes them promising for lightweighting technologies and energy-saving strategies. So far …

For decades, grain boundary engineering has proven to be one of the most effective
approaches for tailoring the mechanical properties of metallic materials, although there are …

Three heat-treatment routes incorporating bainite formation, namely bainite-based
quenching plus tempering, bainite austempering and bainite-based quenching plus …

Extensive research efforts are underway globally to develop new steel microstructure
concepts for high-strength sheet products, driven largely by the need for lightweight …

Undesirable fracture resistance has led to critical safety concerns in ultra-high strength
quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels. The present work proposes a new heat treatment …

Introduction of interlath reverted austenite is an effective method to design ductile lath
martensitic steels. The challenge in this concept is that all reverted austenite films have …

Quenching and partitioning is a relatively new heat treatment concept to generate
microstructures containing retained austenite stabilised by carbon partitioning from …
