Manufacturing titanium alloys with simultaneous enhancement in strength and ductility has motivated extensive research into various strategies for regulating the arrangement and texture of α and β phases. The present study explores a novel...

A systematic study was conducted on the influence of silicon on the microstructure, stress distribution, and martensitic nucleation and transformation of 301 metastable austenitic stainless steel during cold-rolling deformation. When the deformation...

Inconel 706 (IN706) alloy is commonly used in aircraft engines and power plant components that must meet very high performance requirements. The stabilization treatment has a significant effect on the precipitation and evolution of the reinforcing ph...

In the selective-laser-melting process, it is difficult to monitor the evolution of the melt pool in real time via experimental methods due to the complexity and fine scale of laser–powder interaction; numerical simulation has become an importa...

Although introducing high porosity in biomedical Ti alloys can reduce their elastic modulus and promote new bone ingrowth, relieving the stress–shielding effect and implant failure, this also causes a decline in the alloys’ mechanical str...

Nickel–chromium–molybdenum Alloy 625 exhibits an excellent combination of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, the high-temperature plastic deformation process and the heat treatment represent critical aspects for the...

This article presents a metal matrix composite material consisting of NiTi wires embedded in nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) that preserves NBR’s inherent acoustic characteristics while enabling acoustic modification through the NiTi phase trans...

Direct reduced iron (DRI) and hot briquetted iron (HBI) are essential feedstocks for tramp element control in the electric arc furnace (EAF). Due to greenhouse gas (GHG) concerns related to CO2 emissions, hydrogen as a substitute for natural gas and...

In this investigation, 0.19–1.8 wt.% of Ge was introduced into a ternary Zn-Mg-Al alloy. The introduction of Ge had a significant impact on the microstructure, leading to the formation of Mg2Ge. The area fraction of the eutectic phase diminishe...

ŠTORE STEEL Ltd. is one of the three steel plants in Slovenia. Continuous cast 180 mm × 180 mm billets can undergo cooling to room temperature using a turnover cooling bed. They can also be cooled down under hoods or heat treated to redu...
