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

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques such as laser shock peening (LSP) have been
widely adopted to modify microstructure of materials. Understanding the plastic deformation …

A low-alloy and high-carbon martensite steel (0.66% C) with ultrafine grains is produced by
combination of Tempforming (tempering and deforming of a quenched steel) and reheating …

Grain refinement is the most universal and effective method of strengthening metallic
materials, which is known as the “Hall-Petch” relationship. However, when grain size is …

Abstract Effects of quenching-tempering heat treatment on microstructural evolution and
fracture behavior of microalloyed high strength suspension spring 55SiCrVNb were …

Nanoscale lath martensite with high density dislocations and fine V carbides embedded in
heterogeneous lamellar structure was produced in Medium-C (0.46%) martensitic steel …

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys with a high mechanical strength and a small diameter can be
effectively exploited for minimally invasive dental implantation. Here, we report a multipass …

Excellent strain hardening capability holds the key toward a good strength-ductility
combination of high-or medium-entropy alloys (HEAs or MEAs). Generally, metastability …

Abstract A moderately high carbon (0.61%) high silicon steel was subjected to a newly
designed heat treatment cycle consisting of continuous cooling for different duration after …

Tensile properties and deformation mechanisms of a newly developed β Ti alloy, Ti–3Al–
8Mo–7V–3Cr (wt.%), were investigated at room temperature. The alloy was found to exhibit …
