High-speed steels (HSSs) are frequently utilized as cutting tools and wear-resistant
components for a variety of applications because of their exceptional hot hardness and …

This study investigated the microstructure and cracking mechanism of a matrix high-speed
steel fabricated by direct energy deposition. The combined effect of rapid solidification and …

Abstract The effects of 0.7% Al and heat treatment temperatures on chloride corrosion of 9Cr
alloy steel were investigated through potentiodynamic polarization measurement and salt …

The typical final microstructure of bearing steels is composed of coarse carbides in a
martensitic matrix due to coarse carbides in the initial microstructure obtained by the soft …

Hot-rolled 430 ferritic stainless steel samples were annealed at 840–1150° C together with
water or air cooling to study their microstructural evolutions, mechanical properties and …

The design of high-strength martensitic stainless steels requires an accurate control over the
stability of undesired phases, like carbides and ferrite, which can hamper strength and …

Austenitizing temperature is one decisive factor for the mechanical properties of medium
carbon martensitic stainless steels (MCMSSs). In the present work, the effects of …

The formation and dissolution of the Cr‐rich M7C3 and M23C6 carbides in an Al‐alloyed Fe–
17Cr–9Ni–6Mn–4Al–0.42 C (mass%) austenitic stainless steel are investigated by …

This paper presents a systematic study of quenching and partitioning (Q&P) processing of a
(C+ N)-containing austenitic stainless steel with a special focus laid on the influence of …

Casting processes show some weaknesses. A particular problem is presented when the
workpiece needs to be subjected to heat treatments to achieve a desired microstructure …
