Physics of Strain Hardening of Structural Steels

<p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
