Alteration of Phase Transformation Behavior and Prior Austenite Grain Structure Due to Elevated Tramp Element Concentrations in a Hypoeutectoid Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
The phase transformation behavior of a hypoeutectoid steel is studied in comparison with alloys containing higher concentrations of tramp elements, simulating high recycling rates. The examination of microstructures reveals that the tramp elements facilitate the formation of displacive phases along with retained austenite.

The Varying Effects of Uniaxial Compressive Stress on the Bainitic Transformation under Different Austenitization Temperatures

Metals, 2016
In this study, thermal simulation experiments under different austenitization temperatures and different stress states were conducted. High-temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), thermal dilatometry, and scanning electron microscope (SEM)

Alloy Qualification for Producing Quench and Tempered Plate Steels with Extra‐Heavy Gage

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study develops alloy concepts for ultraheavy steel plates (>100 mm) with ≥690 MPa yield strength. Through dilatometry and Jominy testing, the effects of Mo, Ni, and B on hardenability are quantified. A synergy between 0.5% Mo and 0.5%–1.0% Ni ensures core strength at low cooling rates, while boron microalloying suppresses ferrite and promotes ...

Thermo-kinetic understanding of the correlation between bainitic transformation and mechanical properties for bainitic steels

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Phase transformations are feasible approaches for tailoring microstructures to achieve desired mechanical properties. However, the direct link between phase transformations and mechanical properties remains poorly studied.

Phase Transformation Behavior of Continuously Cooled Fe–C–V–(Mo) Alloys

steel research international, EarlyView.
Additions of vanadium and molybdenum microalloying are shown to reshape phase transformations in clean low‐carbon steels. By tracking microstructural shifts during continuous cooling, the work uncovers the correlation between transformation kinetics, ferrite morphology, and hardness.

Press Hardening for Sustainable Lightweight Chassis Design in Heavy‐Duty Vehicles: A Material Performance and Life Cycle Assessment Approach

steel research international, EarlyView.
The article explores how high‐strength steels and press hardening revolutionize lightweight chassis design for heavy‐duty vehicles. It reveals that press hardened steels combined with shot peening can cut weight by up to 34% and reduce environmental impact by 21%–32%.

Effect of Transformation Temperature on Microstructure andMechanical Properties of Bainite [PDF]

Engineering and Technology Journal, 2012
Fully bainitic microstructure can be obtained by isothermal transformation at temperatures within the range of bainite transformation. Both transformation temperature and time determine the phase fraction, the scale of the resultant microstructure and ...

Effect of Double Annealing on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a Medium Manganese Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
A double intercritical annealing strategy is proposed to tailor the multiphase microstructure and mechanical response of a medium‐Mn steel. The treatment produces an ultrafine mixture of ferrite, martensite and multiple austenite populations with graded thermal and mechanical stability, formed through austenite reversion and controlled retransformation.

Insights Into Paint‐Bake Toughening of Resistance Spot Welds of a 2.0 GPa Warm‐Stamped Medium‐Mn Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Paint baking of resistance spot welded joints of 2.0 GPa warm‐stamped medium‐Mn steel activates low‐temperature tempering, forming fine cementite in the fusion zone and enhancing toughness. Crack propagation resistance increases, shifting the failure mode from partial interfacial to complete pullout, with peak load and energy absorption rising ...

Influence of Tramp Elements on Phase Transformations, Structure, and Properties of Scrap‐Based Steels: A Focused Review of Recent Developments

steel research international, EarlyView.
This review explains how impurities from recycled scrap affect steel production and performance. Even small amounts (far below 1%) of these impurities can change how steel behaves during fabrication but also affect the properties of the end product. With better understanding and targeted countermeasures, these challenges can be managed, enabling wider ...
