7th International Conference On High Strength Low Alloy Steels Hsla Steels 2015 International Conference On Microalloying 2015 Microalloying 2015 And International Conference On Offshore Engineering Steels 2015 Oes 2015

This is a collection of papers presented at the joint conference of the 7th International Conference on High Strength Low Alloy Steels (HSLA Steels 2015), the International Conference on Microalloying 2015 (Microalloying 2015), and the International Conference on Offshore Engineering Steels 2015 (OES 2015). The papers focus on the exchange of the latest scientific and technological progresses on HSLA steels, microalloying steels, and offshore engineering steels over the past decades. The contributions are intended to strengthen cooperation between universities and research institutes, and iron and steel companies and users, and promote the further development in the fields all over the world.

A large number of high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steels have been developed, and most have been marketed under proprietary names. Frequently, a steel of given composition will have several different proprietary names, or tradenames, depending upon the steel company that produced it. Thus, there are several hundred proprietary names for the large number of HSLA steels now available. For promotional purposes, different types of higher strength constructional steels have been denoted as weathering steels, microalloyed steels, controlled-rolled steels, acicular-ferrite steels, high-formability steels, and so on, the terms describing some characteristic of the type of steel or its processing. However, all hot-rolled steels of these various types are high-strength, low-alloy steels, and they are the subject of this report, which describes the development of HSLA steels, the physical metallurgy of the strengthening processes used, the characteristics of the steels, and their use.

Specialty Steels and Hard Materials covers the proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Developments in Specialty Steels and Hard Materials (Materials Development '82). The main focus of the materials in the selection is on the microstructural detail, alloy design, processing technology, applications, and economic viability. The first part of the title presents the invited papers in the conference; this part includes topics such as toughness in high speed steels and hard metals; the use of vanadium in low alloy structural steels; and design of strong, ductile, duplex low alloy steels. The second part of the text covers topics about high strength low alloy steels, stainless steels, and rapid solidification processing. The last part of selection deals with tungsten carbide-cobalt hard metals, non-oxide ceramics, and sintered polycrystalline ultra-hard materials. The book will be of great interest to students, researchers, and practitioners of materials engineering and metallurgy.
