Fine particle peening (FPP) at room temperature was introduced to create finer grains the surfaces of Fe–Cr alloys that were then treated by atmospheric controlled induction heating FPP (AIH-FPP). The effect proposed treatment on grain refinement behavior investigated using optical microscopy and micro-Vickers hardness testing. pretreatment increased effectiveness via dynamic recrystallization ...

Flow curves are generated in muti-pass torsion tests for a titanium stabilized and a niobium stabilized IF steel. Two types of test schedule are used, one based on plate rolling and the other approximating strip rolling. The purpose of the former is to define the three critical temperatures of steel rolling. The strip schedules are varied in order to investigate the influence of increasing the ...
