2. Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of Bainitic Steel
Abstract : For material design it is important to understand and establish the relations between the processing of the steel, the resulting microstructure and how that correlate to the properties of the steel. The main focus of this thesis has been to increase this knowledge for low alloy bainitic steels with medium to high carbon content. READ MORE

3. Study of precipitation in martensitic Fe-C-Cr alloys during tempering : Experiments and modelling
Abstract : Understanding the precipitation reaction is very important since precipitation hardening is one of the most effective strengthening mechanisms in metallic alloys. In martensitic steels, a tempering heat treatment is often performed. READ MORE

4. Effect of austenitising temperature and cooling rate on microstructures of hot-work tool steels
Abstract : The average size of hot-work tools has gradually increased over the past years.This affects the effective temperature cycle tools experience during hardening,as large dimensions prevent uniform and rapid cooling, and thereby the resulting microstructures and properties. READ MORE

5. Influence of thermal loading on mechanical properties of railway wheel steels
Abstract : Material integrity and properties of wheels are critical in railway traffic, as wheels fulfil the important function of transferring load and traction from the vehicle to the rail track. Steels with a pearlitic microstructure are commonly used for wheels due to their height strength, low cost and good wear properties. READ MORE
