The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

The development of dual-phase (ferritemartensite) microstructures in hot- and cold-rolled sheet can be accomplished by selecting the hardenability of the steel in relation to the particular thermal ...

TWIP steels have a fully austenitic structure at room temperatures due to their high manganese content of 17% to 24%. Deformation twins created in these steels drive a large amount of deformation, ...
