To elucidate the characteristics of the nucleation and transformation of deformation-induced
martensitic transformation, detailed characterisations were performed during quasi-in-situ …

This paper proposed a novel process combining thermal deformation and intercritical
annealing (IA) to enhance mechanical properties and avoid Lüders strain of Fe-0.2 C–7Mn …

A new low-cost low-density high-strength steel was produced by a combination of hot rolling,
cold rolling and a short-time annealing process. The effect of cold rolling reduction on the …

The compression behavior of a Ti-23.1 Nb-2.0 Zr-1.0 O (at.%) alloy was investigated at strain
rates from 0.1 s− 1 to 1000 s− 1 and temperatures from 100° C to 200° C on a Gleeble 3800 …

Stacking fault energy (SFE) is of the most critical microstructure attribute for controlling the
deformation mechanism and optimizing mechanical properties of austenitic steels, while …

Medium-Mn steels are being thoroughly investigated as potential candidates for the 3rd
generation of advanced high strength steels. Despite the wide experimental work, limited …

Austenitic stainless steels are widely used in cryogenic pressure vessels, liquefied natural
gas pipelines, and offshore transportation liquefied petroleum gas storage tanks due to their …

Variant selection during the martensitic transformation in steels may play an important role in
determining the transformation kinetics and the resulting mechanical properties. In this …

The study addresses the design and optimization of chemical composition and processing
routes of new quenching and partitioning medium-Mn alloy using theoretical and …

The strain-induced martensite transformation is of great importance in the strain hardening
process of ferrite based low-density steel. Based on the microstructure analysis, the texture …
