Steels containing reverted nanoscale austenite (γ RN) islands or films dispersed in a
martensitic matrix show excellent strength, ductility and toughness. The underlying …

We investigate the mechanisms of deformation-driven forward and reverse (bidirectional)
martensitic transformation and the associated nanostructure formation in a metastable …

In polycrystalline materials, grain boundaries are known to be a critical microstructural
component controlling material's mechanical properties, and their characters such as …

Intense research efforts are focused on the development of advanced medium-manganese
steels intended for lighweight automotive components and other applications, where high …

The transition of deformation mechanism from transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) to
twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) was investigated in a viewpoint of γ-austenite grain size …

The evolutions of nano-twins and martensitic transformation in 316L austenitic stainless
steel during large tensile deformation were studied by electron backscatter diffraction …

In this study, the Charpy impact toughness of three austenitic high-Mn steels was evaluated
at room and cryogenic temperatures, and interpreted by deformation mechanisms in relation …

The effect of cold rolling deformation (4%–22%) on the microstructure, microtexture, and
mechanical properties of a 2304 lean duplex stainless steel was investigated. The deformed …

Low carbon steels containing 15–19 wt% Mn were processed to study the influence of Mn
content on the thermally induced and deformation-induced ε-/α′-martensitic transformation …

In contrast with pseudo-elasticity, martensite induced by plastic straining is known to exhibit
limited further transformability and reversibility. The mechanistic and atomistic nature of a …
