This review paper is devoted to the local approach to fracture (LAF) for the prediction of the
fracture toughness of structural steels. The LAF has been considerably developed over the …

Metallic materials processing in an imposed strong static magnetic field (SSMF) has
attracted widely attention in the last decade since a magnetic field of 10T or higher becomes …

The effect of high magnetic field (12 T) on the microstructure evolution and mechanical
properties during tempering of M50 bearing steel have been investigated for evaluating the …

Abstract David E. Laughlin When magnetic phases are included on phase diagrams some
unfamiliar features appear. Most magnetic transformations are not first-order phase …

The two-step austempering process has been reported to be an effective method to
accelerate the bainitic transformation process by introducing martensite (QMB). However, in …

A new vision, involving the use of magnetic fields to engineer grain boundaries, is proposed
on the basis of recent observations. It is shown that the properties associated with grain …

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of magnetic fields on the
carbon diffusion in pure iron. The Fe/Fe-0.87 mass% C diffusion couples prepared by …

Refinement of lamellar spacing down to a few nano-meters in pearlitic steels offers a unique
combination of high strength and toughness. The present work pertains to the tribological …

The paper presents new investigations of high magnetic field (HMF) effects on phase and
structural transformations as well as historical development of the problem. The regularities …

The solid-phase transformations of metal materials under high magnetic fields are an
important topic in research on the electromagnetic processing of materials. Progress in …
