Bainitic steels with intensive lath boundaries demonstrate an excellent combination of
strength and toughness. The bainite lath has an inhomogeneous distribution of dislocations …

Rolling/sliding wear behaviour of two newly designed low-carbon, continuously cooled,
carbide-free bainitic rail steels has been studied and compared with pearlitic rail steel …

The work discusses the corrosion behavior of a set of newly developed high strength and
highly ductile multiphase steels consisting of various fractions of bainite, intercritical ferrite …

We elucidate here the impact of tempering on the stability of retained austenite (RA) in
obtaining excellent combination of strength and toughness in an ultrahigh-strength low …

Low-cycle fatigue experiments emphasizing the ratchetting are performed on the carbide-
free bainitic (CFB) rail steel under different heat-treatment conditions. The effects of …

As the industry of railway transportation is thriving, much more attention has been paid to the
properties of wheel/rail steel materials. Although conventional wheel/rail steel materials …

Bainitic steel is considered to be the best potential candidate steel for rails due to its high
strength and excellent toughness. The objective of this work was to investigate the fatigue …

The bainite/martensite multiphase microstructure was studied in 0.22 C-2.0 Mn-1.0 Si-0.8 Cr-
0.8 (Mo+ Ni)(wt%) bainitic steel subjected to austempering between 325° C and 400° C to …

The objective of this study is to quantify the synergistic action of hydrogen and stress
concentration on the fatigue properties of pipeline steel. Notch tensile tests and fatigue-life …

We elucidate the effect of microstructure on the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) performance of
bainitic rail steel via microstructural characterization and simulated field tests. The RCF …
