Spheroidized ferrite-cementite steel (SFC) is susceptible to micro-defects owing to the
mismatched deformation between the ferrite and cementite during cold forming, which …

The stability of retained austenite refers to its resistance to transform into martensite. While
most models describe the thermal and mechanical influence on retained austenite stability …

Rolling element bearing failures are typically initiated by a two-stage process where a
subsurface microcrack formed in the material microstructure subsequently grows to a spall …

Thermally-induced cracking typically occurs during the cooling stage of various
manufacturing processes, and is commonly seen in multiphase or the joints of dissimilar …

The presence of kinematically metastable retained austenite in the microstructure of bearing
components can significantly affect the macro and micro-mechanical material response. In …

In this work, for development and sustainability of compressive residual stresses (RS) in
bearing steel materials is examined. Of particular interest is the role of retained austenite …

Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) issues of carburized gears are not fully understood and relate
to many factors, such as gradients of mechanical properties, the multiaxial stress state and …

Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) induces a complex subsurface stress state, which produces
significant microstructural alterations within bearing steels. A novel modeling approach is …

Effects of isothermal holding time and temperature on the stability of retained austenite in
medium manganese bainitic steels with and without Nb microaddition were investigated …

Autofrettage is a means of generating compressive residual stresses at the inner side of a
thick-walled cylinder or hollow disk by causing nonhomogeneous plastic deformation of the …
