Routine Analysis of Low Alloy Steel by Quantometer

Quantitative analysis of low-alloy steel by microchip laser induced breakdown spectroscopy

The development of a compact laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) system increases the possibilities of applying the technique in industrial arenas, field applications and process monitoring. Significant progress has been achieved in miniaturization of optical detectors and lasers, allowing portable, low-cost LIBS equipment to be devised. Conventional lasers for LIBS, like actively Q-swi...

Regenerative Heat Treatment of Low Alloy Cast Steel

Low–Alloy Duplex, Directly–Quenched Transformation–Induced Plasticity Steel

A duplex microstructure consisting of allotriomorphic ferrite and austenite at ambient temperature, has been produced in a low–alloy steel, by a simple heat treatment which involves intercritical annealing followed by quenching. The tensile properties obtained are good, with a total elongation of some 28% at an ultimate tensile strength approaching 900MPa. The form of the stress versus strain c...
