High yield steels are developed to offer incomparable strength values post heat treatment and mechanical profiling. Steel alloys commonly show a decrease in mechanical properties after quenching and ...

A breakthrough steel -- the Super Steel -- which has been developed by an HKU-led HK-Beijing-Taiwan team, achieves a high ductility, above the yield strength of 2 GPa.

However, does the hot-dip galvanizing process have any effect on the tensile strengths and yield of the newest high-tensile grades of structural steels? Galvanization is said to affect the tensile ...

“However, high-strength, lightweight aluminum alloys with strength comparable to stainless steels would revolutionize the automobile and aerospace industries.” New research shows how to alter the ...

Requirements and demand for improved material and energy efficiency, as well as for productivity, are important drivers leading to the growing use of high-strength steels, which provide advantages ...

Steel that undergoes this type of transformation is martensitic. Naturally, martensite is in a state of non-equilibrium, but its high strength and hardness (and lower ductility) are due to its ...
