Wear, contact-impact, fatigue and corrosion properties are important factors initiating rail track degradation and are composition dependent. This work focuses on the effect of chromium content on the metallurgical and ...

This study evaluated the microstructural evolution in a medium carbon high silicon steel during one-step, and two-step quench and partition (Q&P) processes using dilatometry experiments. The two-step Q&P process was carried ...

The prior austenite grain size of steels greatly influences the phase transformation kinetics during austenitization and the microstructure which determines the mechanical properties. The effect of temperature and time on ...

Ferritic stainless steel (FSS) grades are widely used for applications that require high strength and corrosion resistance. Their cost and versatility in the steel market have attracted a lot of interest from both industry ...

The effects of welding current, electrode force, and welding time in a resistance spot weld were studied to investigate the effectiveness of welded joints between a thin EN10130: DC04 material and a thicker 817M40 part, ...

Nickel alloying of carbon steel is used to enhance steel strength and toughness. Nickel alloying of the weld metal via solid weld wire presents several difficulties as highlighted previously, such as work hardening of ...
