The growing challenges on fuel economy improvement and greenhouse gas emission
control have become the driving force for automakers to produce lightweight automobiles …

Lightweight structural components made of advanced high‐strength steels (AHSSs) in the
automotive industry can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The 3rd …

Nanotechnology has become an overused adjective, but there has been justified excitement
in the context of structural materials. A class of iron alloys has been discovered in which a …

The effect of ausforming temperatures on bainite morphology was investigated on a newly
developed carbide-free high-silicon steel. High plastic deformation (30%) was applied to …

The present study is concerned with the potential of high carbon, high silicon steel grades
isothermally transformed to bainite at low temperature (< 300° C). The first part gives an …

This work is concerned with quantifying and discussing the influence of alloying elements on
the kinetics of bainite formation at low temperatures (220–250° C) in high carbon, high …

High tensile strength of~ 1550 MPa, uniform elongation of~ 30%, and impact energy of~ 80 J
were achieved in a high-C high-Si bainitic steel, by austempering around the nose-tip …

The effect of multi-step low-temperature bainitic transformation on the microstructure and
mechanical properties of a medium-carbon steel was investigated. Compared with the …

Excellent mechanical properties of nanostructured bainitic steels are primarily related to the
ultra fine scale of their structure constituents. Typically, such structure is exhibited by suitably …

In the current study, a high-carbon, high-silicon steel (1.21 wt% C, 2.56 wt% Mn, 1.59 wt%
Si) was subjected to different heat treatments ((a) quenching from 800–1000° C;(b) …
