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.

Duplex steels have a two-phase microstructure made up of austenite and ferrite. They also have better toughness than ferritic stainless alloys, and double the strength of both austenitic and ferritic ...

Innovative products are not created by chance, but are based on intelligent material solutions. To ensure their reliability, safety and longevity, it must be possible to precisely predict the material ...

To ensure that steel delivers what it promises, its microstructure is analyzed in detail to detect weak points during early stages. Today, this is largely done via visual inspection. Component ...
