There is a growing interest in applying carbide free bainitic microstructures for different hot rolled industrial applications. While the final microstructure should contain a high fraction of fine bainitic ferrite, mainly responsible for the strength, retained austenite should display a high stability (thermal and mechanical) if good ductility is also pursued. In addition, cementite...

During the last decades, the design of thermal treatments has become an issue of importance due to the higher mechanical requirements imposed in the market, which implies microstructural optimizations. Although the most precise way of designing a heat treatment for a specific steel involves the experimental estimation of the steel critical temperatures, it is undeniable that this estimation is...

Oxide dispersion strengthened steels are potential structural materials for the next generation of fast neutron reactors. It is assumed that they will be able to withstand radiation exposure up to doses of around 200 dpa (displacements per atom) at operating temperatures of 400-700 ° C.

​Production method of powder metallurgy allows for size and composition optimization of small inclusions,...
