Hydrogen Embrittlement Susceptibility of R4 and R5 High-Strenght Mooring Steels in Cold and Warm Seawater
Hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility ratios calculated from slow strain rate tensile tests have been employed to study the response of three
Retained Austenite Control for the Soft Machining of High-Hardness Tool Steels
Most high-hardness tool steels comprising forming dies require expensive finish machining operations to compensate for the dimensional distortion and surface
The Influence of Trace Elements on the Nature of the Nuclei of Graphite in Ductile Iron
Nucleation mechanisms and the effect of minor elements added with the inoculants are still a subject of extensive research in
Reassessment of Crystal Growth Theory of Graphite in Cast Iron
The problem of graphite crystallization and growth in cast iron has recently received increased attention. As most of the published
Evolution of shrinkage with carbon equivalent and inoculation in ductile cast irons
Studying how shrinkage porosity changes size when varying the composition of ductile irons is still of interest for manufacturing sound
Effect of the Martensitic Transformation on the Stamping Force and Cycle Time of Hot Stamping Parts
Stamping dies perform two functions in the hot stamping process of body-in-white components. Firstly, they form the steel sheet into
A Simplified Varestraint Test for Analyzing Weldability of Fe-Ni Based Superalloys
High temperature Ni-based superalloys are largely used in components of aircraft engines which are subjected to high thermal (above 700
Environmentally induced hydrogen embrittlement
Under the term Environmental Induced Cracking (EIC) a series of subcritical progression cracking processes are involved which result from the

Advantages and disadvantages of the surface treatments applied to Corten steel
The commercial designation Corten is usually referred to a low-alloy self-weathering steel category in which, by means of a controlled
Updated the ISO 15614-1 Standard for the specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials
The ISO 15614-1 standard develops and details how to qualify a welding procedure to demonstrate that the procedure is capable
Wear and Friction Evaluation of Different Tool Steels for Hot Stamping
The aim of this work is to investigate the durability of tool steels for hot stamping by comparing the wear
Thermal control strategies in high temperature industrial processes
The heat treatment processes are very important for the metalworking industry. Occasionally, they are integrated within the own manufacturing process
