Publisher's Synopsis
The book reviews new research in the area of deformation mechanisms of structural steels and the possibilities to control the process of strain hardening. Topics covered include: The bainite, martensite and pearlite structure of these steels; the strengthening mechanisms of quenched steel; the evolution of phase composition and defect sub-structure of bainitic steel under deformation; the hardening mechanisms of bainitic steels; and the strain hardening of structural steels with pearlite structure.
Keywords: Structural Steels, Strain Hardening, Uniaxial Compression, Martensite Structure, Pearlite Structure, Bainite Structure, Plasticity, Fracture Toughness, Tribological Properties, Wear Resistance, Strength Properties, Corrosion Resistant Steel, Impact Strength, Dislocation Density, Weldability.
