Electromagnetic characterisation of steel microstructures employs magnetic and electric field measurements to probe the internal arrangement and phase composition of steel in a non-destructive manner.

For thousands of years, humans have combined metals to collectively harness properties found in individual components, producing such practical materials as bronze, brass and, more recently, steel.

TRIP steels have a microstructure consisting of at least five volume percent of retained austenite, which is embedded in a primary ferrite matrix. The microstructure also contains hard phases like ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Steel is one of the most widely used engineering materials in the world. Its pre-eminent position amongst the engineering materials arises due to the abundance and low cost of its ...

Close shave: electron microscope image of a razorblade cutting human hair. (Courtesy: Gianluca Roscioli/Tasan Group/MIT) New insights into why a hard steel razor blade is dulled by cutting soft hairs ...

He noticed that some of his samples didn’t rust and were difficult to etch. These alloys contained around 13% chromium. The first application of these steels was in cutlery for which Sheffield ...
