High toughness, especially cryogenic toughness, is usually hard to be obtained in
precipitation strengthening steels. In this report, intercritical tempering plus tempering were …

Multi-step heat treatment including intercritical treatment plus traditional tempering is
proposed to tailor strength and toughness in a low carbon precipitation-strengthened steel …

We studied the effect of Cu addition on the hardness of ultra-low carbon steels heat treated
with different cooling rates using thermal simulation techniques. The microstructural …

High strength and toughness are usually hard to obtain simultaneously because of the trade-
off. In this research, cyclic intercritical tempering (IT) was applied to a low-carbon Cu-bearing …

We studied the influence of aging temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties
in an ultra-low carbon Cu bearing steel in the present study. During the aging process, a …
