The high thermal gradients during the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process induce an
inhomogeneous microstructure with anisotropic mechanical properties. This study …

Restrained by the strength-ductility tradeoff, it is still challenging to develop advanced high-
strength low carbon low alloy (LCLA) steels with superior strength-ductility combinations and …

The hydrogen embrittlement (HE) mechanism of QP980 steels laser welded joints with
complex microstructures is unclear. The joint with hydrogen pre-charging fractured at the …

The cellular automata (CA) method has played an important role in the research and
development of metallic materials. CA can interpret the microstructure changes of materials …

This study comprehensively investigates the kinetics of bainitic ferrite transformation in steel
alloys by integrating experimental results, finite element analysis, and thermodynamic …

Tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) is a typical multiphase alloy material consisting of hard
tungsten (W) and soft matrix (γ) phases. When loaded, the two phases deform quite …

The physical mechanism of the intermittent plastic flow (IPF) of austenitic steels at extremely
