Dual-phase (DP) steel is the flagship of advanced high-strength steels, which were first among various candidate alloy systems to find application in weight-reduced automotive components. On one hand, this a metallurgical success story: Lean alloying and simple thermomechanical treatment enable use less material accomplish more performance while complying with demanding environmental economic constraints. other enormous literature on DP steels demonstrates immense complexity microstructure...
Materials are typically ductile at higher temperatures and become brittle lower temperatures. In contrast to the typical ductile-to-brittle transition behavior of body-centered cubic (bcc) steels, we observed an inverse temperature dependence toughness in ultrahigh-strength bcc steel with ultrafine elongated ferrite grain structure that was processed by a thermomechanical treatment without addition large amount alloying element. The enhanced is attributed delamination result crack branching...
Fatigue failures create enormous risks for all engineered structures, as well human lives, motivating large safety factors in design and, thus, inefficient use of resources. Inspired by the excellent fracture toughness bone, we explored fatigue resistance metastability-assisted multiphase steels. We show here that when steel microstructures are hierarchical and laminated, similar to substructure superior crack can be realized. Our results reveal tuning interface structure, distribution,...
This paper gives an overview of recent progress in microstructure-specific hydrogen mapping techniques. The challenging nature with high spatial resolution, i.e. at the scale finest microstructural features, led to development various methodologies: thermal desorption spectrometry, silver decoration, microprint technique, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, atom probe tomography, neutron radiography, and scanning Kelvin probe. These techniques have different characteristics regarding temporal...
Abstract Structure evolution taking place in pure polycrystalline copper was studied multiple compressions at room temperature. Rectangular samples were compressed with consequent change the loading direction from pass to pass. The deformation behaviour high strains of above 2 shows an apparent steadystate flow following a rapid rise stress early stage deformation. structural changes are characterized by many mutually crossing subboundaries low moderate strains, finally followed development...
