Increasing the Reuse Potential of High‐Strength Steels by Extending the Fatigue Life through Surface Treatments

steel research international, EarlyView.
Surface reconditioning through mechanical and electrochemical polishing is shown to extend the fatigue life of predamaged 42CrMo4 steel by over 12 times. By removing ≈100 μm of surface material, surface‐driven fatigue damage is mitigated. This study introduces a reuse potential metric to evaluate fatigue recovery and support sustainable steel reuse.

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 ...

HWTS 50 Tool Steel Tailored for Laser Powder Bed Fusion: Sliding Wear of Bare Surfaces and Nitriding Response in Comparison with 18Ni300 and AISI H13

steel research international, EarlyView.
This work investigates the wear resistance and nitriding behavior of PBF‐LB/M‐processed Osprey HWTS 50, a lean hot work tool steel. Three heat treatment conditions are compared to conventional wrought H13, H11, and PBF‐LB/M 18Ni300. The study highlights HWTS 50's enhanced nitrogen diffusion, deeper nitriding hardness depth, and comparable or improved ...

In Situ Alloying of H13 Tool Steel With TiC via PBF‐LB/M

steel research international, EarlyView.
H13 tool steel is in situ alloyed with titanium carbides (TiC) in amounts up to 30 wt.%. This approach offers the advantage that the carbides melt only partially during processing, preventing excessive carbon enrichment of the steel matrix. The resulting microstructure consists of coarse, undissolved and fine, reprecipitated carbides, leading to grain ...

Exploiting Residual Elements Arising from Scrap Steel in Future Sustainable Steel Alloy Design

steel research international, EarlyView.
Herein, the effects of residual elements Cu and Sn on grain growth, recrystallization, and phase transformation in C–Mn steel are summarized, and a case study is presented on how the presence of residual elements can be exploited to reduce deliberate Nb microalloying while achieving the same grain size control and strength during thermomechanical ...

Microstructure, Defects, and Fatigue Response of High‐Strength Tool Steels

steel research international, EarlyView.
The martensitic tool steel family is designed for use in various working environments where they are subjected to repeatedly high mechanical loads. Despite the continuous upgrade of material´s microstructures through compositional development or processing techniques, defects remain a critical factor for the tool performance by leading to fatigue ...

Tailoring Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Post‐Processing Parameters for JIS SKD61 Tool Steels: Surface Roughness, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

steel research international, EarlyView.
Laser powder bed fusion of JIS SKD61 tool steel is systematically optimized using a Taguchi design and ANOVA. Hatch spacing and layer thickness are identified as dominant parameters controlling surface roughness and tensile strength. Subsequent tempering at 600°C improves microstructural stability and mechanical performance, enabling high‐density SKD61

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%.
