Robots are increasingly assisting humans in performing various tasks. Like special agents
with elite skills, they can venture to distant locations and adverse environments, such as the …

This article presents an overview of the developments in stainless steels made since the
1990s. Some of the new applications that involve the use of stainless steel are also …

Self‐healing materials are able to partially or completely heal damage inflicted on them, eg,
crack formation; it is anticipated that the original functionality can be restored. This article …

Intrinsic and extrinsic self-healing strategies can be employed to mitigate the effects of local
damage in order to (partially) restore a lost property or functionality and to avoid premature …

The precipitation of Cr-and Mo-rich σ phases will seriously deteriorate the corrosion
resistance and mechanical property of super austenitic stainless steel S31254. The …

The influence of composition and cooling rate on the hot ductility of steels has been
reviewed. Models to predict hot ductility behaviour have been discussed and the parts of the …

In comparison to other materials, in metals and metallic systems self‐healing of cracks and
crack‐initiating defects is difficult to achieve due to the fact the solute atoms that act as …

Designing self-healing in metals is a challenging task. Self-healing concepts successfully
applied in polymers cannot be directly transferred because of different energetics. This has …

The current study analyses the influence of boron addition on the hot ductility of a low
carbon advanced high strength NiCrVCu steel. For this purpose hot tensile tests were …

We have investigated the influence of deformation-induced defects on the isothermal
precipitation at 550° C in as-quenched (solute-supersaturated) and annealed (solute …
