The aim of this study was to evaluate tensile properties low and medium carbon ferrite -martensite dual phase steel, the effect cryogenic treatment at liquid nitrogen temperature (-196 ºC) on its properties. Low steel (C12D) steels (C32D & C42D) were used in work. For each grade, five groups specimens prepared according type heat treatment. first group normalized, second normalized subseque...

Five high entropy alloys with shape memory effect or superelastic were prepared by cold crucible melting to understand the of their chemical composition on transformation temperatures. The microstructure and phases at room temperature investigated optical scanning electron microscopy. calorimetric study these is employed analyze reversible from austenite martensite determine temperatures five a...

One of the most promising ways to produce a grain-refined microstructure in some steel materials is the thermomechanical processing route of subcritical recrystallization annealing of a cold-deformed martensite structure. In the present study, the microstructural evolutions and the associated recrystallization kinetics under various subcritical annealing heat treatment conditions are explored i...

ti-6al-4v titanium alloy has great application in medicine and military industries due to its capabilities, namely high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. in the current research, the effect of aging treatment on microstructure and wear behavior of ti-6al-4v titanium alloy was investigated. pin on disk wear test was applied to assess the wear behavior. specimens were first solut...

the microstructure of dual phase steels can be considered as a matrix of ferrite phase reinforced by martensite particles. recent measurements show that the mechanical properties of the ferrite phase are changed with the distance from the martensite grains. in this paper, a new method has been proposed to consider this phenomenon in finite element modeling of dual phase steels microstructure. i...

Nano-structured NiTi instantaneously transforms from fcc austenite via an intermediate phase (the R-phase) into monoclinic B19’ martensite. At a grain size less than a critical limit of about 50nm no transformation can be observed even upon cooling down to cryogenic temperatures. In slightly larger grains the martensite appears as a laminate of alternating twinrelated Bain correspondence varian...

This paper studies a method of surface heat treatment by making use of grinding heat and stress to create favorable microstructures and promote high wear and fatigue resistance. It was found that the thickness of the treated surface layer could be up to 600 μm. The beneficial microstructure of the layer was created by an enhanced martensite transformation, intensive dislocations and a more desi...

The transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP)-effect is an efficient way to increase the formability in high performance steels. Hence, optimal stability of retained austenite crucial benefit most from this effect. In present work, in-situ energy X-ray diffraction was used study martensite transformation upon uniaxial tensile loading a TRIP-assisted steel produced by quenching and partitioning (...

Investigations were carried out to study the effects of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of rolled medium carbon steel. The steel was heated to the austenizing temperature of 830C and water quenched; It was reheated to the ferrite – austenite two phase region at a temperature of 745C below the effective Ac3 point. The steel was then rapidly quenched in water and tempered at 480C to p...
