Purpose: The aim of the paper is to design heat treatment conditions of dual-phase steel and to determine their influence on the structure and mechanical properties of steel. Design/methodology/approach: The heat treatment of the C-Mn steel in order to obtain a dual-phase ferritic – martensitic structure of desirable phase fractions was realized. To investigate the influence of heat treatment p...

Softening frequently occurs in dual-phase steels under isothermal tempering of martensite. Recently, non-isothermal tempering is implemented to decrease the softening process in dualphase steels. Here, we have discovered using high power electropulsing treatment can significantly enhance the strengthening effects via the formation of ultrafine-grained ferrite with nano-cementite particles in te...

This work presents a novel diffusion based dualphase molecular communication system where the source leverages multiple cooperating nanomachines to improve the end-toend reliability of communication. The Neyman-Pearson Likelihood Ratio Tests are derived for each of the cooperative as well as the destination nanomachines in the presence of multiuser interference. Further, to characterize the per...

AlCoCrFeNi High Entropy Alloys were here synthesized by the combination of Planetary Ball Milling and Spark Plasma Sintering at 1100 °C. The relatively low rotating speed led to a peculiar agglomerate state referred as “Mechanical Activated”. reactive sintering activated agglomerates leads unique dualphase microstructure: sintered sample exhibited distinctive nanostructured lamellar microstruct...
