An acoustic emission study of martensitic and bainitic transformations in carbon steel

Steel is one of the most commonly used materials today, especially in industrial sectors such as ship building and the automotive industry. In order to meet the requirements for steel applications, new multi-phase steels are being developed. The microstructure of these steels consists of a variety of different phases, which leads to superior...

Cyclic Partial Phase Transformations In Low Alloyed Steels: Modeling and Experiments

Mechanical properties of low alloyed steels are directly determined by their microstructures. Thanks to versatility in their microstructures, the mechanical properties of low alloyed steels are much more adjustable than other materials. In the industry, one of the most effective ways to obtain the microstructure for the targeted mechanical...

A New Electron Backscatter Diffraction-Based Method to Study the Role of Crystallographic Orientation in Ductile Damage Initiation

The third generation of advanced high strength steels shows promising properties for automotive applications. The macroscopic mechanical response of this generation can be further improved by a better understanding of failure mechanisms on the microstructural level and micro-mechanical behavior under various loading conditions. In the current...
