International researcher team presents a novel microstructure design strategy for lean medium-manganese steels with optimized properties in the journal Science
Many important phenomena occurring in polycrystalline materials under large plastic strain, like microstructure, deformation localization and in-grain texture evolution can be predicted by high-resolution modeling of crystals. Unfortunately, the simulation mesh gets distorted during the deformation because of the heterogeneity of the plastic…
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is one of the most dangerous embrittlement problems in metallic materials and advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) are particularly prone to HE with the presence of only a few parts-per-million of H. However, the HE mechanisms in these materials remain elusive, especially for the lightweight steels where the composition…
