Hsla Steels Technology And Applications

This volume comprises select proceedings of the AHSS 2017 conference. AHSS is an instrumental event in creating a platform for exchanging recent thoughts and results among a selective group of researchers working in the area of steel science and engineering. Twenty two selected papers have been included in this volume. This book will serve as a reference to many practitioners and researchers working in the areas of steel strength, characterization, and applications.

Examines the types, microstructures and attributes of AHSSAlso reviews the current and future applications, the benefits, trends and environmental and sustainability issues.

Automotive Steels: Design, Metallurgy, Processing and Applications explores the design, processing, metallurgy, and applications of automotive steels. While some sheet steels are produced routinely in high volume today, there have been significant advances in the use of steel in the automotive industry. This book presents these metallurgical and application aspects in a way that is not available in the current literature. The editors have assembled an international team of experts who discuss recent developments and future prospects for automotive steels, compiling essential reading for both academic and industrial metallurgists, automotive design engineers, and postgraduate students attending courses on the metallurgy of automotive materials. Presents recent developments on the design, metallurgy, processing, and applications of automotive steels Discusses automotive steels that are currently in the early stages of research, such as low-density and high modulus steels that are driving future development Covers traditional steels, advanced high strength steels, elevated Mn steels and ferrous composite materials

Alloying: Understanding the Basics is a comprehensive guide to the influence of alloy additions on mechanical properties, physical properties, corrosion and chemical behavior, and processing and manufacturing characteristics. The coverage considers "alloying" to include any addition of an element or compound that interacts with a base metal to influence properties. Thus, the book addresses the beneficial effects of major alloy additions, inoculants, dopants, grain refiners, and other elements that have been deliberately added to improve performance, as well the detrimental effects of minor elements or residual (tramp) elements included in charge materials or that result from improper melting or refining techniques. The content is presented in a concise, user-friendly format. Numerous figures and tables are provided. The coverage has been weighted to provided the most detailed information on the most industrially important materials.

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.
