Expanded and revised to cover developments in the field over the past 17 years, and now
reprinted to correct errors in the prior printing, Phase Transformation in Metals and Alloys …

The development of materials for automobile applications, especially for the body in white,
results from multiple and often contradictory constraints: a search for lightness, a high …

A novel concept for the heat treatment of martensite, different to customary quenching and
tempering, is described. This involves quenching to below the martensite-start temperature …

Three heat-treatment routes incorporating bainite formation, namely bainite-based
quenching plus tempering, bainite austempering and bainite-based quenching plus …

The goal of the quench and partition (Q&P) process for steel heat treatment is to enrich
austenite with carbon during a partitioning treatment after initial quenching below the …

Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steel is a term used to describe a series of C–Si–Mn, C–
Si–Mn–Al, or other steels subjected to the recently developed Q&P heat treatment process …

Understanding the micromechanical consequences of transformation-induced plasticity
(TRIP)-assisted steels is challenging, due to the presence of multiple phase constituents and …

With a suite of multi-modal and multi-scale characterization techniques, the present study
