Work Hardening in Ferritic Steel

Strong Ferritic – Steel Welds

There are many steels which are stronger than 2000 MPa, with toughness values exceeding 100 MPa m and which have been in commercial service for many decades. Examples include the marageing alloys and carbide–free bainitic steels. By contrast, welding consumables with a proof strength in excess of 1000 MPa are few and far between. This is because whereas wrought steels can be thermomechanically ...

Theory for Hydrogen Desorption in Ferritic Steel

After a concise review of the analytical models available for the interpretation of thermal desorption rates for hydrogen effusion from steel, a numerical method that incorporates the essence of local equilibrium and detrapping kinetics has been implemented to account for the real complexity of practical experiments. For example, the model permits the treatment of multiple kinds of traps, uses ...

Precipitation sequence in niobium-alloyed ferritic stainless steel

Niobium is an important alloying element in the design of heat-resistant ferritic stainless steels for automotive exhaust systems. When in solid solution, it improves both the high temperature strength and the resistance to thermal fatigue. However, it also forms several kinds of precipitates during service. These reactions have been modelled, taking into account the multicomponent nature of th...

Improvement of Mechanical Properties and Work-Hardening Behavior of Intercritically Annealed Dual Phase Steel

The effect of the initial microstructure and intercritical annealing on mechanical properties and work-hardening response of a high-formability low carbon steel were studied. The work-hardening analysis was based on the modified Crussard–Jaoul method. The ferritic-pearlitic sheets showed low strength and high total elongation with the appearance of the yield point phenomenon. The occurrence of ...
