Microstructural evolution during bainite transformation in a vanadium microalloyed TRIP-assisted steel
Erfan Abbasi,W.M. Rainforth +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructural evolution and subsequent properties of a cold rolled 0.12-wt% V microalloyed transformation induced plasticity assisted steel were studied after intercritical annealing, focusing on isothermal bainite transformation at 460°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of strength–ductility combinations between nanotwinned austenite and martensite–austenite stainless steels
TL;DR: In this article, two types of stainless steel samples were prepared by means of dynamic plastic deformation followed by annealing: nanotwinned austenitic grains embedded in recrystallized austenite matrix and martensitic/austenitic duplex microstructures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of single and double austenitization treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 16Cr-2Ni steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the advantages of double austenitization to permit dissolution of alloy carbides without significant grain coarsening was attempted in AISI 431 type martensitic stainless steel.

Induction Tempering vs Conventional Tempering of a Heat-Treatable Steel
Stephanie Christin Sackl,Stephanie Christin Sackl,Michael Zuber,Helmut Clemens,Sophie Primig,Sophie Primig +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructure property relationship during induction and conventional heat treatment of a heat treatable steel 42CrMo4 is investigated, and it is shown that during tempering the martensitic blocks become equi-axed ferrite grains due to recrystallization as revealed by electron back scatter diffraction.

Delamination Fracture Related to Tempering in a High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel
TL;DR: In this article, a high-strength low-alloy plate steel was examined and it was shown that delamination did not occur in test specimens from plate in the as-rolled condition, but was severe in material tempered in the temperature range 500 °C to 650 °C.
