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 …

In order to improve the uniformity of microstructures, and thus enhance the mechanical
properties, especially the impact toughness, of 52100 bearing steels, modified quenching …

The microstructure and resultant mechanical properties of the hardened case produced in
steels by induction surface hardening are discussed. The development of the final structure …

In order to promote the understanding of the influence of an alloying element on the
spheroidization of hypereutectoid steels, the effects of Mn, Si and Cr addition on the …

The first evidence is provided for the existence of a tetragonal or slightly orthorhombic unit
cell of bainitic ferrite. It supports the hypothesis that the excess carbon that persists in the …

The formation of austenite during both slow and fast heating (0.25–100° C s− 1) was
investigated for different microstructures of a selected low-alloy steel. With the simultaneous …

Abstract C–Cr–Mo–V martensitic steel possesses high hardness, toughness and wear
resistance, which benefits from the coordination of tempered martensite and alloy carbide in …

Abstract The spheroidized 1.0 C–1.5 Cr bearing steel with 30% cold deformation in
thickness was subjected to austenitizing treatment. Interrupted quenching was employed to …

This work aims to estimate the effect of interfacial carbon diffusion on the diffusion behavior
of interfacial Cr element, interfacial microstructure, and tensile behavior of stainless steel …

A novel processing strategy was proposed, first to promote Mn partitioning behavior during
intercritical annealing, second to improve the fraction and stability of retained austenite (RA) …
