In recent years, great attention has been paid to the development of high manganese austenitic TWIP steels exhibiting high tensile strength and exceptional total elongation. Due to low stacking fault energy (SFE), cross slip becomes more difficult in these steels and mechanical twinning is then the favored deformation mode besides dislocation gliding. Chemical composition along with processing ...

This paper deals with the influence of steel composition (with respect to the microalloying elements) and therrnomechanical treatment on structure and mechanical behaviour of HSLA (High Strength Low Alloy) steels. Four different microalloyed steels have been TM rolled under variing conditions. The austenite structure prior to transformation could be revealed by means of a special etching techni...

Haynes 25 alloy (also known as L-605 alloy) is cobalt based super alloy which has widely applications such as aerospace industry, turbine and furnace parts, power generators and heat exchangers and petroleum refining components due to its excellent characteristics. However, the workability of this alloy is more difficult compared to normal steels or even stainless. In present work, an experimen...

This paper was aimed to address the modeling and optimization of factors affecting the corrosive wear of low alloy and high carbon chromium steel balls. Response surface methodology, central composite design (CCD) was employed to assess the main and interactive effects of the parameters and also to model and minimize the corrosive wear of the steels. The second-order polynomial regression model...

This paper presents the development of a state-variable design approach to control strip temperature in a continuous anneal process producing a variety of highstrength low-alloy steels. In this process, a steel strip passes continuously through five consecutive heat-treating operations to achieve desired metallurgical properties for the automotive market. Each operation is controlled by an indi...

The understanding of the hardenability is important in steel development with respect to weldability of steels as well as to the design of quenched and tempered steels. The common way to judge if steel is suitability to welding is the use of a carbon equivalent, which reflects the alloy content to the hardenability of the heat affected zone (HAZ). Most common of these equivalents is the IIW car...

There have been considerable efforts to create welding consumables which on solid state phase transformation partly compensate for the stresses which develop when a constrained weld cools to ambient temperatures. All of these efforts have focused on structural steels which are ferritic. In the present work, alloy design methods have been used to create a stainless steel welding consumable which...
