The book reviews new research in the area of deformation mechanisms of structural steels and the possibilities to control the process of strain hardening.
Topics covered include:
- The bainite, martensite and pearlite structure of these steels
- the strengthening mechanisms of quenched steel
- the evolution of phase composition and defect sub-structure of bainitic steel under deformation
- the hardening mechanisms of bainitic steels
- the strain hardening of structural steels with pearlite structure.
