Friction stir welding and processing enabled the creation of stronger joints, novel ultrafine-
grained metals, new metal matrix composites, and multifunctional surfaces at user-defined …

Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is the most promising solid-state metals joining method
introduced in this era. Compared to the conventional fusion welding methods, this FSW can …

Considerable progress has been achieved in friction stir welding (FSW) of steels in every
aspect of tool fabrication, microstructure control and properties evaluation in the past two …

Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) often takes place during hot deformation of metallic
materials, which then exerts significant influence on the final microstructures and …

The crystallography and morphology of the intercritical austenite phase in two high-
aluminum steels annealed at 850° C were examined on the basis of electron backscattered …

In this study, a low carbon medium-Mn steel was subjected to different quenching and
partitioning (Q&P) processes to investigate fraction and morphology of fresh martensite and …

Prior-austenite grain (PAG) structures play a critical role in determining steel microstructures
and properties. Over recent years, the use of algorithms that reconstruct PAGs from electron …

We report on the effect of chemical heterogeneity on martensitic transformation in a
maraging steel produced through laser-based directed energy deposition. Unlike …

Claddings made of nickel-base alloys or stainless steel are frequently used in the oil,
chemical, and power generation industries to protect low-alloy steels from corrosion. Arc …

Gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) machine learning (ML) method was adopted for the
first time to automatically recognize and conduct quantitative statistical analysis of …
