Conventional heat treatment is not capable of converting a sufficient amount of retained
austenite into martensite in high-carbon or high-carbon and high-alloyed iron alloys …

The tensile crack initiation and propagation of M50 bearing steel were investigated. It is
found that the primary carbides were fractured during the tensile test by in situ SEM, while …

Press hardened 22MnB5 steels are steady broadening their applications in vehicles since
they allow to meet the increasing demands for weight reduction and safety standards. Press …

This study aimed to present the complete history of carbide evolution in a cold-work tool
steel along its full processing route for fabrication and application. A sequence of processes …

This work presents an investigation on the influence of rare earth additions (Ce) on the
microstructure and mechanical properties of a cast Fe85Cr4Mo8V2C1 (element contents in …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are very interesting due to their extraordinary
properties; their excellent wear resistance, very low friction coefficient, great hardness, high …

The finite element method (FEM) nanoindentation simulations of nitride hard coatings are
either focused on the coating only or contain an axisymmetric model of the coated …

The influence of sub-zero treatment and tempering on the microstructure, flexural strength,
and fracture toughness of Cr-V ledeburitic steel was examined with reference to the same …

The microstructure of Vanadis 6 ledeburitic steel subjected to sub-zero treatments at− 140°
C for different durations followed by various tempering regimes was investigated. The …

This study investigated the microstructure and tensile properties of AISI D2 tool steel
manufactured by direct energy deposition (DED). The effect of standard post-heat treatment …
