Abstract
The microstructural evolution and corresponding mechanical properties of 5052 Al alloys with different deformation temperatures and post-deformation annealing conditions were investigated. The warmrolled alloy showed higher strength and elongation than the cold-rolled and cryo-rolled alloys. The improved strength and ductility of warm rolled alloys is attributed to the formation of..... More

Abstract
The effect of annealing on the microstructural evolution of the matrix in low carbon manganese steels with different initial microstructures, including martensite, bainite and a mixture of ferrite and pearlite, was investigated in conjunction with the charge in mechanical properties. During annealing, steels with a deformed ferrite + pearlite microstructure..... More

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of manufacturing conditions, such as patenting temperature and drawing strains, on the tensile fracture behaviors, especially on reduction of area (RA), of hyper-eutectoid steel wire. Steel wires with the chemical compositions of Fe-0.92C-1.3Si-0.6Mn-0.3Cr (wt%), were austenitized at 900 °C for 3 min and isothermally transformed..... More

Abstract
The effects of alloying elements, especially Cr and Si, and transformation temperature on the microstructures and mechanical properties of hyper-eutectoid steels were investigated. Increases in Si and Cr changed the morphology of cementite in upper bainite, while the morphology of pearlite seemed to be unchanged by the amount of alloying..... More
