The study of heterostructured materials (HSMs) answered one of the most pressing
questions in the metallurgical field:“is it possible to greatly increase both the strength and the …

Duplex stainless steels (DSS) suffer from thermal aging embrittlement after long-term service
in the temperature range of 280-320° C, leading to severe deterioration of mechanical …

In the harsh service environment of high temperature and intense neutron irradiation in
water-cooled nuclear reactors, the austenitic stainless steel weld overlay cladding on the …

In this study, the relationship between spinodal decomposition and the formation of Ni-rich
clusters and G-phase in the ferrite on hardening and pitting corrosion of two thermally aged …

Tuning thermal treatment schedule has been confirmed as an effective technical route for
achieving optimum properties of steels. In the present work, the role of a unique duplex …

It is a challenge to simultaneously improve the strength and plasticity of ultra-high strength
and high elasticity copper alloys. A synergistic strengthening strategy of heterogeneous …

In this study, the microstructure characteristics and formation mechanism of DSS (duplex
stainless steel) multi-pass weld joints were firstly investigated in terms of the OM (optical …

The deformation behaviour of the austenitic and ferritic phases in an aged duplex stainless
