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 ...

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

This study quantifies axial and torsional long‐life fatigue (LLF) behavior of three carbide‐rich PM‐HIP tool steels, correlating LLF strength with intrinsic defect size and cleanliness, thereby extracting material‐specific mean stress sensitivities and Haigh diagrams.

Rotating‐bending fatigue tests on AISI D2 and AISI A11 quantify how cleanliness, carbide structure, hardness, and fabrication‐induced compressive residual stresses govern long‐life fatigue at NG = 107 cycles. Statistical fracture‐surface analysis and extreme‐value √area statistics link crack‐initiators to LLF strength.

Durability performance of a high‐performance fiber‐reinforced concrete for bridge applications
Abstract This paper investigates the durability performance of a coarse‐aggregate high‐performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (HPFRC) developed as a cost‐efficient material solution for precast bridge applications. A comprehensive experimental program was conducted to assess the resistance of the material to the principal deterioration mechanisms ...

Early Bronze Age Copper Circulation in the Guadalentín and Segura Valleys (SE Spain)
ABSTRACT Identifying the sources of copper used in Early Bronze Age metalwork from south‐east Spain is key to resolving a long‐running debate concerning centralized control, or lack thereof, over El Argar society's economic organisation. This study provides the first substantial integrated programme of EDXRF and MC‐ICP‐MS analyses for copper‐base ...
