Multifaceted Behavior and Functional Versatility of Ferritic Stainless Steels, Part I: Applications and Processing, a Review

steel research international, EarlyView.
This review investigates the processing‐microstructure‐property relationships in ferritic stainless steels (FSSs). It highlights advances in deformation behavior, heat treatments, surface modifications, and alloying effects. Theoretical models, including Johnson‐Mehl‐Avrami‐Kolmogorov, Arrhenius, nucleation theory, and diffusion theories, are discussed

Enhancing printability of 3D printed concrete by using metakaolin and silica fume

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the effects of incorporating metakaolin (MK) and silica fume (SF) on the fresh and hardened properties of 3D printed concrete (3DPC). Five mix designs were prepared with MK replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%, along with one mix containing 10% MK and 5% SF.

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...
