A multivariate grain size and orientation distribution function
Derivation from electron backscatter diffraction data and applications
Two of the microstructural parameters most influential in the properties of polycrystalline materials are grain size and crystallographic texture. Although both properties have been extensively studied and there are a wide range of analysis tools available, they are generally con

High strain rate torsional response of maraging steel parts produced by laser powder bed fusion techniques
Deformation behavior and constitutive model
The deformation performance of maraging steel samples fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion technique was evaluated using the split Hopkinson torsion bar (SHTB) test. Thin-walled tubular maraging steel samples were deformed under dynamic torsional loading at strain rates o

The effect of ultrafast heating in cold-rolled low carbon steel
Recrystallization and texture evolution
The microstructure and texture evolution of cold-rolled low carbon steel after ultrafast heating and quenching is investigated. Experiments were carried out at heating rates of 150 °C/s and 1500 °C/s. The recrystallization of ferrite is studied by scanning electron microscopy and

Severe plastically deformed commercially pure aluminum
Substructure, micro-texture and associated mechanical response during uniaxial tension
Severe plastic deformation (SPD) of metals to obtain ultra-fine or even nano-sized grains has proven to be an interesting concept explored over the last few decades. However, the mechanical behavior of SPD metals and the underlying microstructural phenomena are not fully understo

Friction stir welding of advanced high strength dual phase steel
Microstructure, mechanical properties and fracture behavior
In this study, butt welds of an advanced high strength dual phase steel were fabricated using friction stir welding at a constant rotational speed of 800 rpm and different transverse speeds of 100, 150 and 200 mm/min. It was observed that sound welds can be obtained at transverse

Advanced high strength steels
Improved properties by design of textures and microstructures
Texture and microstructure formation during annealing of a 75% cold rolled AHS steel, reheated at a rate of 10°C/s to ~3000°C/s were studied with the purpose to investigate the interaction between the recrystallization and the austenite formation as well as the possibility of gra

Evolution of recrystallization textures in particle containing Al alloys after various rolling reductions
Experimental study and modeling
The phase transformations, microstructure and properties of two Medium-Mn processed via quenching and partitioning steels were compared in this contribution and a new strategy for controlling mechanical properties by introducing and controlling cold-worked ferrite prior to heat t
