The component elements in steel can be categorised in terms of their crystal structures. At least a basic knowledge of the practical implications of these crystal arrangements is essential to ...

Martensitic stainless steel is a good choice for a variety of applications because of its durability, strength, and corrosion resistance. The composition and properties of martensitic steel give it ...

Many utilities around the world have been discovering abnormal or aberrant P91 base and weld metal microstructures in their plants, leading to, or with a potential to lead to, early cracking and ...

• Martensitic stainless steels are strong, wear resistant, and cost less than other stainless-steel grades. • Controlling weld cooling with induction heating minimizes fusion and heat-affected zone ...

Dislocations can save lives. This stems from the fact that the one-dimensional defects in a metal play an important role when the material deforms: for example, when a car body panel crumples in an ...
