Microalloying in Steels

Edited by: J.M. Rodriguez-Ibabe, I. Gutiérrez and B. López

Online since: June 1998

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The technology of microalloying is now, at the end of the 20th century, widely accepted due to the attractive balance of properties which is achievable with the correct control of the interaction between steel chemistry and processing parameters. Microalloying is applied to a broad spectrum of products and has two main goals: to improve the mechanical properties and to save costs.

Interfaces and Plasticity

Edited by: Nicole Clément and Joël Douin

Online since: January 1998

Description: Dislocations were introduced into crystal physics, and particularly into the theory of plasticity, in 1934. For many years, they were the field of speculation of a small group of specialists, not considered seriously by real physicists and metallurgists. After W.T. Read Jr's fundamental work in 1953 and further developments by Cottrel, Friedel, Frank and Hirsch, dislocations had become part of the working vocabulary of solid-state physics and metallurgy.
