The novel Cr-containing low alloy steels have exhibited good corrosion resistance in CO₂ environment, mainly owing to the formation of Cr-enriched corrosion film. In order to evaluate whether it is applicable to the CO₂ and H₂S coexistence conditions, the corrosion behavior of low-chromium steels in CO₂-H₂S environment with high pressure and high temperature was investigated using weight loss m...

Strength and toughness are a couple of paradox as similar as strength-ductility trade-off in homogenous materials, body-centered-cubic steels in particular. Here we report a simple way to get ultrahigh toughness without sacrificing strength. By simple alloying design and hot rolling the 5Mn3Al steels in ferrite/austenite dual phase temperature region, we obtain a series of ferrite/martensite la...

inspired multi-objective optimisation algorithm Jun Chena, Mahdi Mahfouf, Gaffour Sidahmed, doi:10.1016/j.engappai.2014.08.014 Highlights • We model mechanical properties of heat treated alloy steel using interpretable fuzzy models. • We demonstrate how to locate the ‘best’ processing parameters and chemical compositions. • We demonstrate how to achieve certain mechanical properties. • We demon...

The word, “Cryogenics” is taken from two Greek words – “kryos” which means cold or freezing, and “genes” meaning born or generated. Technologically, it means the study and use of materials (or other requirements) at very low temperatures. In general cryogenic treatment consists of slow cooling already heat treated part to approximately -196C, holding at low temperature up to prescribed period, ...

structural steels with very high strength levels are often referred to as ultrahigh-strength steels (uhss). the usage of uhss has been extensively studied in aerospace industries and offshore platforms. in this study, medium carbon low alloy steel (ams6305) was thermomechanicaly treated to obtain an ultra-high strength bainitic steel for aircraft engine compressor disk. a novel themomechanical ...

We report a computational 'alloy by design' approach which can significantly accelerate the design process and substantially reduce the development costs. This approach allows simultaneously optimization of alloy composition and heat treatment parameters based on the integration of thermodynamic, thermo-kinetics and a genetic algorithm optimization route. Novel steel compositions and associated...

Creep strength enhanced ferritic (CSEF) steels which contain 9 to 12%Cr have become the steels of choice in many industrial high energy systems. The typical compositions of alloy types P91, P92 and E911 are compared with 12CrMoV in Table 1. These steels are selected for use in applications where high temperature creep can occur because of a favorable balance between cost and properties [1,2]. T...

facturing methods. Graphene nanocomposite coatings for protecting lowalloy steels from corrosion A ceramic engineer or scientist unfortunately must admit that there is an unwelcome member of the family among us—iron oxide, or rust. This unpleasant family member is disruptive at best. More often it is destructive, nearly impossible to control, and a consumer of resources that are devoted to it i...

Micro-alloyed High Strength Low Alloy steels (HSLA-steels) are widely used in civil construction, automobile and line pipe applications. They contain small quantities of alloying elements between 0,01 – 0,1 wt%, such as Niobium, Titanium, Vanadium, Aluminium and Nitrogen. These steels rely on thermo-mechanical rolling, a technique that simultaneously provides high strength, excellent toughness ...
