Influence of Laser Powder‐Based Directed Energy Deposition and Heat Treatment on the Thermal Conductivity of Cold‐Work Tool Steel X65MoCrWV3‐2

steel research international, EarlyView.
The studied X65MoCrWV3‐2 press hardening tool steel, produced via laser‐based direct energy deposition DED‐LB/M, exhibits a 15‐20% lower thermal conductivity than its conventionally produced equivalent when heat‐treated to operational hardness. The microstructural evolution during the employed direct tempering leads to anisotropic thermal transport, as

Revisiting the effect of austenite grain size on hierarchical structure and mechanical properties of high-strength steel

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
Austenite grain refinement enhances strength and toughness by producing refined hierarchical structure with dense high-angle grain boundaries. Yet, the contributions of distinct types of boundaries remain unclear.

Two‐Stage Isothermal Transformation of Austenite into Nanobainite in a Chemically Inhomogeneous Medium‐Alloy Steel Containing 0.5 wt% C

steel research international, EarlyView.
The effect of chemical inhomogeneity on the microstructure and properties of nanobainitic steel is investigated. A two‐stage isothermal heat treatment that produced a more uniform microstructure is designed. The first‐stage temperature is higher than the MS of depleted bands; conversely, the second‐stage temperature is lower than the first‐stage ...

Substitution of Ti by Nb in Maraging Steel: Effects on Strengthening Mechanisms and Crystallographic Behavior

steel research international, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that replacing Ti with Nb in maraging steel forms nanoscale Nb–Mo particles along boundaries, strengthening the alloy without relying on Ti phases. Heat‐treatment tuning promotes uniform crystal orientation and balanced grain boundaries, enabling strong yet ductile behavior.

In Situ Investigation of Microstructure Evolution and Stress Generation During Low‐Pressure Carburizing and Quenching by Means of Synchrotron X‐Ray Diffraction

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study uses in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction at the German Electron Synchrotron to analyze low‐pressure carburizing (LPC) in steels. The findings reveal surface carbon saturation and carbide formation kinetics, and phase‐specific stress development during quenching. The results show carbide kinetics depend on steel grade and size, while stress

Effect of Postweld Heat Treatment on Laser‐Welded Duplex Stainless Steel: Crystallographic Patterns and Fatigue Behavior

steel research international, EarlyView.
Laser welding of duplex stainless steel disrupts phase balance, promotes nitride precipitation, and reduces fatigue resistance. Postweld heat treatment restores austenite and dissolves nitrides, but the resulting crystallography and phase morphology still impair fatigue performance.

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.

High Cycle Fatigue Properties of PM‐HIPed High‐Nitrogen Tool Steel: Effect of Surface Condition

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the impact of surface condition on high‐cycle fatigue performance of a high‐nitrogen martensitic tool steel manufactured through powder metallurgy and hot isostatic pressing. In near‐net manufacturing applications, acid‐leaching pickling treatment and/or machining is used as a post‐treatment to remove the powder container ...

Microstructure and cleavage in lath martensitic steels

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2013
In this paper we discuss the microstructure of lath martensitic steels and the mechanisms by which it controls cleavage fracture. The specific experimental example is a 9Ni (9 wt% Ni) steel annealed to have a large prior austenite grain size, then ...
