Recent progress in the understanding of the deformation-induced martensitic transformation,
the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect, and the reversion annealing in the …

Grain refinement can strengthen the mechanical properties of materials according to the
classical Hall-Petch relationship but does not always result in better corrosion resistance …

PEM fuel cells are of prime interest in transportation applications due to their relatively high
efficiency and low pollutant emissions. Bipolar plates are the key components of these …

The present study focuses on the significant effect of grain size on mechanical property and
corrosion behavior of a 304 stainless steel. Three initial structures with average grain sizes …

Scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) of annealed and cold-rolled grade 2205
duplex stainless steel has been correlated with microstructure analysis using electron back …

Strength properties of annealed austenitic stainless steels are relatively low and therefore
improvements are desired for constructional applications. The reversion of deformation …

The effects of peening treatment on the microstructure and corrosion behavior of AISI 304SS
were investigated. Shot and ultrasonic peening were performed on the austenitic stainless …

The effect of Cr-rich carbide precipitates on the austenite stability and corrosion behavior of
ultrafine-grained 304 stainless steel obtained by cryogenic rolling and subsequent different …

Cell–substrate interface is known to control the cell response and subsequent cell functions.
Among the various biophysical signals, grain structure, which indicates the repeating …

An ideal ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructure for high strength and high ductility should
have short dislocation-slip path to impede dislocation slip and very low dislocation density to …
