With the rapid development of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel, Nb as an important
microalloying element has received more and more attention in recent years. The …

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 ambient strength-ductility trade-off has been a long-standing dilemma in metallic alloys,
in particular Mg alloys. Here we report a new strategy to solve such a strength-ductility …

In the present work, martensitic stainless steel (MSS) coatings with niobium (Nb) contents of
0–1.0 wt%, combining high strength and ductility with improved corrosion resistance, have …

High-Mn austenitic steel reinforced with carbide particles can significantly enhance the wear
resistance of steel. However, micron-sized particles may be detached from the surface of the …

The present work investigated the role of thermomechanical processing and coiling
temperature on various strengthening mechanisms in a low carbon Nb+ V microalloyed …

Rebar is the most important material in large-scale engineering structures, and its fine
structure determines the strength and seismic resistance of rebar. The objective of this study …

The microstructural evolution and precipitation behavior of the warm-rolled (WRed) medium
Mn steels with no microalloying addition, single Nb addition and multiple Nb-Mo addition …

Absence of strain-induced precipitation of NbC is observed in a conventional hot rolled Nb-
Ti microalloyed X90 strip. Quantitative analysis using transmission electron microscopy and …

The role of titanium and vanadium carbonitrides (Ti, V)(C, N) of the MX series on the
austenite-to-ferrite transformation in microalloyed steels and their potential of acting as pre …
