The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

The figure shows the evolution of the microstructure of the melt pool under the influence of the simulated transient temperature field. Nucleated grains are represented in pink-purple plots, while ...

Stainless steel is used in situations where surface aesthetics are crucial. These may include kitchen countertops, cabinet fronts, and external and interior cladding. As stainless steel is primarily ...

Frank Mücklich, Professor of Functional Materials at Saarland University, explained that years of research were required to train the AI system so that it could not only recognize different patterns ...

With some 5,000 grades of steel available today, the steel manufacturing process hinges on fine nuances. To create new properties or to ensure consistent material quality, steels are analysed using a ...
