Some new results in thermomechanical processing of microalloyed steels

Equilibrium Model of Precipitation in Microalloyed Steels

The formation of precipitates during thermal processing of microalloyed steels greatly influences their mechanical properties. Precipitation behavior varies with steel composition and temperature history and can lead to beneficial grain refinement or detrimental transverse surface cracks. This work presents an efficient computational model of equilibrium precipitation of oxides, sulfides, nitri...

AN INVESTIGATION TO BAINITE FORMATION MORPHOLOGIES IN NI-CR BEARING LOW CARBON STEELS THROUGH THERMOMECHANICAL PROCESSING

The presence of bainite in the microstructure of steels to obtain a proper combination of strength and toughness has always been desired. The previous works however have shown that the presence of preferred bainite morphologies in the microstructure of any steel would not be readily accessible. In addition, the appearance of different bainite morphologies in the microstructure of any steel is d...

Particle-Size-Grouping Model of Precipitation Kinetics in Microalloyed Steels

The formation, growth, and size distribution of precipitates greatly affects the microstructure and properties of microalloyed steels. The computational Particle-Size-Grouping (PSG) kinetic models were developed to simulate precipitate particle growth due to collision and diffusion mechanisms. Firstly, the standard PSG method for collision is clearly explained and verified. Then a new PSG metho...

Comments About the Strengthening Mechanisms in Commercial Microalloyed Steels and Reaction Kinetics on Tempering in Low-Alloy Steels

SOME NEW RESULTS ON REMOTEST POINTS IN NORMED SPACES

In this paper, using the best proximity theorems for an extensionof Brosowski's theorem. We obtain other results on farthest points. Finally, wedene the concept of e- farthest points. We shall prove interesting relationshipbetween the -best approximation and the e-farthest points in normed linearspaces (X; ||.||). If z in W is a e-farthest point from an x in X, then z is also a-best approximati...
