The isothermal heat treatment processing routes are designed for a novel 0.17 C-3.1Mn-1Si-0.55Al-0.22Mo-0.034Ti-0.073 V steel, aiming to obtain a homogeneous fine lath-type microstructure consisting ...

Strength and toughness are a couple of paradox as similar as strength-ductility trade-off in homogenous materials, body-centered-cubic steels in particular. Here we report a simple way to get ...

TRIP steels have a microstructure consisting of at least five volume percent of retained austenite, which is embedded in a primary ferrite matrix. The microstructure also contains hard phases like ...

Duplex stainless steels are typically known to have a dualphase microstructure that contains both ferrite and austenite grains. This so-called microstructure offers a uniquely beneficial combination ...
