The tempering of two-phase mixtures of bainitic ferrite and carbon-enriched retained austenite has been investigated in an effort to separate the reactions that occur at elevated temperatures from any transformation during cooling to ambient [...]

The mole is the most recent addition to the set of base units that form the International System of Units, although its pre-cursor the ‘gram-molecule’, had been in use by both physicists and chemists for more than 120 years. A proposal [...] A theory for the diffusion-controlled growth of pearlite in steels containing manganese is presented and assessed in the light of experimental data. Given the overwhelmingly rapid diffusivity that a substitutional solute has within the transformation [...] Flexoelectricity is due to the electric polarization generated by a non-zero strain gradient in a dielectric material without or with centrosymmetric microstructure. It is characterized by a fourth-order tensor, referred to as flexoelectric tensor, [...] In this paper, we address the behaviour of lacquer coatings similar to that found on the Mazarin Chest, an important Japanese lacquerware artefact currently held by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London. The response of Japanese lacquer [...] A kinetic theory for the diffusion-controlled growth of pearlite is presented, which accounts simultaneously for diffusion through the austenite and via the transformation front. The simplified method abandons the need for mechanical equilibrium at [...] Auxetic materials exhibit the unusual property of becoming fatter when uniaxially stretched and thinner when uniaxially compressed (i.e. they exhibit a negative Poisson ratio; NPR), a property that may result in various enhanced properties. The NPR [...] An iron-based alloy system has been developed that exhibits impressive combinations of tensile strength and elongation that are not available with current steels used in the manufacture of automobiles. Furthermore, the heat treatments required to [...] |
