Steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 2500MPa, a hardness at 600–670HV and
toughness in excess of 30–40MPam1/2 is the result of exciting new developments with …

An alloy system based on iron is described in which it has been possible to create a high
density of interfaces by heat treatment alone. The resulting structure consists of a mixture of …

The mechanism by which relatively small concentrations of silicon influence the precipitation
of cementite from carbon supersaturated austenite and ferrite are investigated. It is found …

Novel bainitic microstructures, consisting of slender ferrite plates (tens of nm) in a matrix of
retained austenite, have reported maximum yield strength of 1.4 GPa, ultimate tensile …

Much recent work has been devoted to characterize the microstructure and mechanical
properties bainitic nanostructured steels. The microstructure is developed by isothermal heat …

By means of phase transformation theory for the bainite reaction, high-carbon, silicon-rich
steels have been developed1, 2) with bainite transformation temperatures as low as T= Tm …

The escalating global demand for energy resources, particularly oil and natural gas,
underlines the critical need for enhancing the performance of pipeline infrastructure. This …

The effect of retained austenite stability on impact-abrasion wear resistance was
investigated. Using an impact-abrasion wear testing machine, it was demonstrated that a …

The extremely slow transformation kinetics of a nanocrystalline bainitic steel allows the
carbon content of the bainitic ferrite away from any carbon-enriched regions such as …

Steels with a microstructure consisting of a mixture of bainitic ferrite and carbon-enriched
retained austenite are of interest in a variety of commercial applications because they have …
