Elsevier Phase Transformations in Steels: Volume 2: Diffusionless Transformations, High Strength Steels, Modelling and Advanced Analytical Techniques (Woodhead ... Series in Metals and Surface Engineering)

The processing-microstructure-property relationships in steels continue to present challenges to researchers because of the complexity of phase transformation reactions and the wide spectrum of microstructures and properties achievable. This major two-volume work summarises the current state of research on phase transformations in steels and its implications for the emergence of new steels with enhanced engineering properties. Volume 2 reviews current research on diffusionless transformations and phase transformations in high strength steels, as well as advances in modelling and analytical techniques which underpin this research. Key Features: alongside its companion volume, this major two-volume work summarises the current state of research on phase transformations in steels; reviews research on diffusionless transformations and phase transformations in high strength steels; examines advances in modelling and the use of advanced analytical techniques to improve understanding of phase transformations in steels.
