Acicular ferrite is a microstructure nucleating intergranularly on non-metallic inclusions and
forming an arrangement of fine, interlocking grains. This structure is known to improve steel …

Oxide metallurgy technology plays an important role in inclusion control and is also applied
to improve the weldability of high strength steel. Based on the requirements of the …

The effects of non-metallic inclusions in nucleating acicular ferrite in steels during cooling
from a weld or cooling from an austenitic temperature are reviewed. The influence of the …

The knowledge of the martensite start (Ms) temperature of steels is sometimes important
during parts and structures fabrication, and it can not be always properly estimated using …

The first of many important works featured in CRC Press' Metals and Alloys Encyclopedia
Collection, the Encyclopedia of Iron, Steel, and Their Alloys covers all the fundamental …

Tube-to-tubesheet joints are one of the major vulnerable locations prone to cracks in heat
exchangers. The manufacturing processes of these joints have an important role in …

The effects of inclusion size and chemical composition on acicular ferrite (AF) nucleation
and possible nucleation mechanisms were discussed. With the use of low-carbon structure …

Samples of medium carbon steel were examined after heating between 900ºC-980ºC and
soaked for 45 minutes in a muffle furnace before quenching in palm oil and water …

Controlled rolling followed by two-stage continuous cooling was carried out in-house to
study the microstructure and mechanical properties of a low carbon microalloyed steel plate …

Laser clad specimens were fabricated to characterize the axial fatigue failure behavior of
laser clad 4340 steel in the as-clad condition and for specifically designed clad specimens …
