Low-temperature treatments have become a valuable method for improving the surface
hardness of stainless steels, and thus their tribological properties, without impairing their …

We have developed a deep-learning-based framework for understanding the individual and
mutually combined contributions of different alloying elements and environmental conditions …

The expanded austenite (γ N) produced by low-temperature nitriding of austenitic stainless
steels with a Cr content of 18–20 at% is conventionally regarded as a nitrogen …

The influence of substitutionally dissolved V in ferritic Fe-4 at.% V alloy, on the structure and
morphology of iron-carbonitrides ε-Fe 3 (N, C) 1+ x and γ'-Fe 4 (N, C) 1-y was investigated …

Colossal N supersaturation of ferritic as well as austenitic stainless steels during low
