Designing a new family of advanced high-strength steels (AHSSs) to develop automotive parts that cover early industry needs is the aim of many investigations. One of the candidates in the 3rd family of AHSS are the quenching ...

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The hot-flow behavior of Inconel 718 subjected to delta processing (DP) was analyzed. Hot compression tests were subsequently performed at 960 °C and 1020 °C at the four different strain rates of 0.001, ...

The fracture toughness of four advanced high strength steel (AHSS) thin sheets is evaluated through different characterization methodologies, with the aim of identifying the most relevant toughness parameters to describe ...

Laser cutting is widely used in the metal industry, particularly when components of high strength steel sheets are produced. However, the roughness of cut edges produced by laser differs from that obtained by other methods, ...

In order to design thermomechanical schedules for processing lowcarbon microalloyed steels, the various critical transformation temperatures, i.e. the start and finish of the austenite transformation (Ar3, Ar1) and the ...

Twinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steels are high manganese austenitic steels that have caused growing interest over the last decade due to their unique combination of strength and elongation. Nevertheless, the problems ...

The influence of the microstructure on the fracture toughness of two industrially processed 1000 MPa dual-phase (DP) steel grades is investigated. Crack initiation and propagation resistance are evaluated by means of the ...

Commercially pure (Grade 4) titanium specimens with two types of microstructure (coarse-grained and nanostructured by means of equal channel angular pressing) were joined by linear friction welding ...

There is a large number of methods for severe plastic deformation (SPD). Multidirectional forging (MDF) is probably one of the most easily scalable for industrial application. ...
