For some decades, the resources within the northern hemisphere have been studied for
possible exploration. The need for reliable infrastructures in such extreme cold climatic …

In this work, SiC particles were added to the molten pool during WAAM of a high strength
low alloy steel. The introduction of these high melting point particles promoted grain …

Hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) susceptibility tests, hydrogen permeation tests and the
electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurements were used to study the effect of Nb on …

The effect of the ferrite to austenite phase transformation route on the microstructure and
interface plane character distributions was studied in a duplex stainless steel. Two markedly …

The study of toughening mechanism associated with the heat-affected zone (HAZ) continues
to be of significant interest for improving the low temperature (− 40° C) toughness. In this …

The significant influence of the welding heat input on the microstructural evolution,
precipitation behavior and resultant properties of the coarse grained heat affected zone …

The characteristics of the intervariant boundary network that resulted from the β → α^ ′ β→
α′ martensitic phase transformation in a Ti–6Al–4V alloy were studied using the …

The thermal cycles that high strength low alloy (HSLA) low carbon steels experience during
welding inevitably affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld joints. It is …

This study investigated the influence of parent austenite grain refinement on the intervariant
boundary network (population and connectivity) in a lath martensitic steel. Parent austenite …

In this study, the microstructure dependence of impact toughness was studied for a 2205
duplex stainless steel in the temperature range of− 196 to 25° C. Three markedly different …
