The role of surface energy and surface stress has been a topic of extensive discussion since
the seminal work by Gibbs [Gibbs JW. The scientific papers of J. Willard Gibbs. Vol. I …

Diffusion-controlled phase transformations are of singular importance in controlling
microstructures and mechanical properties but are difficult to model and calculate for Fe-CX …

Phase boundaries play an important role in setting the properties of multicomponent
materials at both the meso-and nano-scales. In this review, we provide an overview of the …

To understand how solute Mn in the reverted austenite is able to rapidly partition to near-
equilibrium concentration values during the typically short intercritical annealing (IA) of …

Using a Zener-like approach, the character of partitioning mixed-mode phase
transformations in the solid state is shown to be governed by a single parameter Z. The …

Deformation-induced ferrite transformation (DIFT) was applied in laboratory tests to produce
fine-grained dual-phase (DP) steels. Four different chemistries were investigated, starting …

Homogenisation has been used to eliminate solute segregation of CrMnFeCoNi high-
entropy alloys (HEAs) before thermomechanical processing. To overcome the deficiencies …

The kinetics of the austenite (γ)-to-ferrite (α) phase transformation in iron-based alloys with
low amounts of interstitial and substitutional components has been simulated. The finite …

The modification effects of surface-active element Mg on the inclusions and
macro/microstructure of as-cast M42 high-speed steel were investigated by microscopy …

The influence of magnesium treatment on cleanliness and microstructure characteristics of
as-cast high-nitrogen stainless bearing steel (HNSBS) was systematically investigated …
