Two different dual phase steels were prepared from low carbon manganese steel after the elimination of the banding using the direct quenching (DQ) and the step quenching (SQ) procedures. Different heat treatments resulted in different martensite morphologies, microstructures and mechanical properties. The heat treatments were designed in such a way to obtain a 0.25 volume fraction of martensite...

contexts hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is one of the most common malignant diseases in the world. because less than 20% of patients with hcc are resectable, various types of non-surgical treatment have been developed. evidence acquisition at present, radiofrequency ablation (rfa) is accepted as the standard local treatment for patients with hcc because of its superior local control and overall...
