Originating from the early 1970s in Luleå, Sweden, and initially designed for the agricultural
industry, hot-stamped sheet steel has developed to become the leading material in a …

Fe-B alloys have attracted much attention as a new kind of wear-resistant and corrosion-
resistant materials. It is interesting that the boride morphology of Fe-B alloys determines their …

The addition of boron (B) to steels suppresses the austenite to ferrite phase transformation
dramatically, thus increasing their hardenability. It achieves this through grain boundary …

High-resolution secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging, atom probe tomography and
transmission electron microscopy have been employed to investigate boron segregation at …

The addition of small amount of boron (B) to steels has been found to significantly increase
the hardenability of steels during cooling. This is further increased by the addition of …

High resolution imaging by secondary ion mass spectrometry and atom probe tomography
have been employed to investigate boron segregation at austenite grain boundaries (γGBs) …

Based on new insights from crystallography, this study aims to establish the relationship
between prior austenite grain size and mechanical properties and enhance our …

The uniformity of toughness along thickness direction has long been the critical problem for
producing ultra-heavy steel plate. To clarify the rule and mechanism of the influence of …

The distribution of B and other alloying elements (C, Cr, Mo) at prior austenite grain
boundaries (PAGBs) and in the matrix was quantified by atom probe tomography in a …

This paper investigates the effect of Nb and B microalloying on the wear and corrosion
resistance of 20MnCr5 steel after high-temperature carburization at 950° C. The abrasion …
