Prediction of impact toughness based on the microstructural characteristics of steel weld
metals is complicated due to the innumerous parameters involved. The common practice …

In recent years, the demand for advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) has increased to
improve the durability and service life of steel structures. The development of these steels …

This is the first of three overviews on failure of metals. Here, brittle and ductile failure under
monotonic loadings are addressed within the context of the local approach to fracture. In this …

The morphology and crystallography of lath martensite in Fe-C alloys containing various
carbon contents from 0.0026 to 0.61% were studied by analyzing electron back scattered …

We report that 316L austenitic stainless steel fabricated by direct laser deposition (DLD), an
additive manufacturing (AM) process, have a higher yield strength than that of conventional …

Four commercial steels with carbon contents in the range 0.1–0.5 wt.% have been examined
in the as-quenched condition using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and atom probe …

The effects of transformation temperature on the variant pairing tendency of bainitic ferrite
(BF) and the orientation relationship (OR) between BF and austenite matrix are investigated …

In this study, the substructures and crystallographic features of as-quenched lath martensite
in interstitial-free (IF) steel and low-carbon steel (0.2 C steel) were investigated using …

The ductile to brittle transition temperature of a commercial martensitic steel decreases with
the refinement of its microstructure. Electron backscattered diffraction analysis of the …

The correlation of microstructural characteristics and toughness of the simulated coarse
grained heat affected zone (CGHAZ) of low carbon bainitic steel was investigated in this …
