  2. 1. Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of Bainitic Steel

    Author : Adam Ståhlkrantz; Annika Borgenstam; Peter Hedström; Niklas Sarius; Joacim Hagström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bainite; Austempering; Low alloyed steel; Tempering; Variant pairing; Material characterization; Metallurgical process science; Metallurgisk processvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    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

  4. 2. On the Microstructure and the Thermal Conductivity in Compacted Graphite Iron

    Author : Martin Selin; Ingvar L. Svensson; Daniel Holmgren; Lars Nyborg; Kenneth Hamberg; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Compacted graphite iron; Microstructure; Thermal conductivity; Ferrite; Cementite; Nodularity; Mathematical modelling; Laser flash technique; Austempering;

    Abstract : Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is a cast iron material that has gained much attention due to its attractive material properties which are intermediate between those of grey and ductile cast iron. In the automotive industry compacted graphite iron has become an interesting alternative material to grey cast iron in components like cylinder blocks or cylinder heads. READ MORE

  5. 3. Microstructure analysis of wear and fatigue in austempered high-Si steels

    Author : Alejandro Leiro; Johan Ahlström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materialteknik; Engineering Materials; Konstruktionsmaterial; Engineering Materials; Centrumbildning - Centrum för högpresterande stål CHS ; Centre - Centre for High Performance Steel CHS ;

    Abstract : Research on austempering of high-Si steels has increased over the last years due to their attractive combination of strength and toughness. The presence of over 1.5% of silicon prevents the precipitation of cementite during austempering and the resulting microstructure consists of bainitic ferrite and retained austenite. READ MORE

  6. 4. Wear and fatigue properties of isothermally treated high-Si steels

    Author : Alejandro Leiro; Peter Hedström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materialteknik; Engineering Materials; Centrumbildning - Centrum för högpresterande stål CHS ; Centre - Centre for High Performance Steel CHS ;

    Abstract : In recent years steels containing Si contents of 1,5% or more have been isothermally transformed in order to obtain a microstructure consisting of bainitic ferrite laths and retained austenite. The refined microstructure and presence of retained austenite has allowed the manufacture of steels with high tensile strength and considerable elongation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Study of microstructure development in hypoeutectic grey cast iron

    Author : Ruben Lora; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The avoidance of shrinkage porosity and metal expansion penetration defects as well as the control of the size and number of eutectic colonies and the tensile properties of the casting are issues of major importance in the production of lamellar cast iron. These defects, characteristics and properties are related to the microstructure that develops during solidification. READ MORE
