Steels with medium manganese (Mn) content (3∼ 12 wt-%) have emerged as a new alloy
class and received considerable attention during the last decade. The microstructure and …

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is one of the most dangerous yet most elusive embrittlement
problems in metallic materials. Advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) are particularly prone …

Mechanically strong and ductile load–carrying materials are needed in all sectors, from
transportation to lightweight design to safe infrastructure. Yet, a grand challenge is to unify …

Abstract A TWIP-TRIP high-entropy alloy with inhomogeneous chemical composition was
prepared by laser powder deposition (LPD). The microstructure and properties of the alloy …

As one of the representative characteristics of plastic deformation, microstructural plastic
strain inhomogeneity has triggered a broad interest in uncovering the corresponding …

A unified description for the evolution of ε–and α′–martensite, and twinning in austenitic
steels is presented. The formation of micron—scale ε and twin bands is obtained by …

Here the effect of retained austenite stability and martensite-austenite island/fresh
martensite on mechanical properties, fracture behavior, and corrosion resistance of 0.5 wt …

Understanding the micromechanical consequences of transformation-induced plasticity
(TRIP)-assisted steels is challenging, due to the presence of multiple phase constituents and …

A novel concept of microstructure design involving warm rolling and low-temperature
annealing has been proposed to greatly improve the strength-ductility combination of …

Abstract Ultra-high-strength (over 1 GPa) hot-rolled steel sheets have been actively
developed to protect passengers in cases of vehicle crashes, and their applications have …
