High Strength Steels summarizes the historical context and recent research directions of new high strength steels including high-strength low alloyed steel (HSLA), dual-phase (DP) steel, transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) assisted steel, quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steel, medium-Mn steel, high-Mn twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel, bainitic steel, martensitic steel and maraging steel. In particular, the state-of-the-art understanding of the processing-microstructure-property relationship of these high-strength steels is the focus of this book. More importantly, the authors’ understanding on the deformation mechanisms of high-strength steels, which is based on their extensive research works over the last two decades, is thoroughly incorporated. Engineering applications of these materials are also discussed.
High Strength Steels is suitable for new entrants or those working in related fields in academia and R&D in the subject areas of materials science and engineering and metallurgy.
