Carbon neutrality of the steel industry requires the development of high-strength steel. The
mechanical properties of low-alloy steel can be considerably improved at a low cost by …

Microalloyed steels have evolved in terms of their chemical composition, processing, and
metallurgical characteristics since the beginning of the 20th century in the function of …

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 …

The influence of Ti addition on the development of acicular ferrite microstructure during the
γ/α transformation in C–Mn steels has been studied. The optical microstructures of the heat …

The effects of non-metallic inclusions in nucleating acicular ferrite in steels during cooling
from a weld or cooling from an austenitic temperature are reviewed. The influence of the …

Acicular ferrite formation, promoted by the intragranular nucleation of ferrite plates, is well
known to be beneficial for achieving a good combination of mechanical properties …

Solar driven water evaporation is a promising clean water regeneration technology to solve
the worldwide water shortage problem. The solar evaporators with efficient steam …

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the role of non-metallic inclusions in
controlling the microstructure of steels. The potency of various inclusions and precipitates …

We elucidate here the contribution of intragranular acicular ferrite (IAF) on impending crack
initiation and propagation in the heat-affected-zone (HAZ) of low carbon steels based on …

Compared with niobium and vanadium, titanium has been regarded as a relative minor
element in microalloyed (MA) steels. More recently, titanium compounds in MA steels have …
