The maximal strength level for a given steel composition can be realised with the martensitic microstructure. However as-quenched martensitic microstructures have a low formability and toughness level. This project exploits the benefits of tempered martensite using a quenched and tempering proce...
The main objective of this project was to determine the bainitic hardenability for alloying elements, both singly and in combination and develop a bainitic hardenability model for use in steel design to ensure optimum use of expensive or strategically sensitive additions in high and ultra-high s...
