(author)Wheel–rail contact creates high stresses in both rails and wheels, which can lead to different damage, such as plastic deformation, wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF). It is important to use high-quality steels that are resistant to these damages. Mechanical properties and failure of steels are determined by various microstructural...journal article 2019

Banis, Alexandros (author), Hernandez Duran, E.I. (author), Bliznuk, Vitaliy (author), Sabirov, Ilchat (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Papaefthymiou, Spyros (author)The effect of ultra-fast heating on the microstructures of steel has been thoroughly studied over the last year as it imposes a suitable alternative for the production of ultra high strength steel grades. Rapid reheating followed by quenching leads to fine-grained mixed microstructures. This way the desirable strength/ductility ratio can be...journal article 2019

Vercruysse, Florian (author), Celada-Casero, Carola (author), Linke, Bernd M. (author), Verleysen, Patricia (author), Petrov, R.H. (author)Because of their excellent combination of strength and ductility, quenching and partitioning (Q & P) steels have a great chance of being added to the third generation of advanced high strength steels. The large ductility of Q & P steels arises from the presence of 10% to 15% of retained austenite which postpones necking due to the...journal article 2020

Abraham Mathews, J. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)Bainite to austenite reversal is one of the grain refinement techniques employed in carburized steels. However, chemical segregation influences the homogeneity of the bainitic structure, which is seminal to exploit the advantages associated with austenite reversal. It is therefore important to understand the influence of chemical segregation...journal article 2022
