The X80 high-strength low-alloy microalloyed steel was procured as a hot rolled plate with accelerated cooling. The four-wire tandem submerged arc welding process, with different heat input, was used to generate a welded microstructure. The effects of real and Gleeble simulated double pass thermal cycles on the properties of the heated and reheated coarse grained heat affected zones (CGHAZ) in X80 microalloyed pipeline steel has been investigated. The thermal simulated process for heated region involved heating the X80 steel specimens to the peak temperature of 1400 °C, with different cooling rates. The influence of the second peak temperature during real and simulated welding hass been... 

Shape memory materials are a kind of smart materials which recently have been used in a wide range of fields in particular medicine and aerospace. These materials can be divided to shape memory polymers and shape memory alloys. The basis of shape memory alloys’ properties is a thermoelastic martensitic transformation taking place between a high symmetric phase, called Austenite, and a low symmetric phase, called Martensite. In this project, by means of finite element methods, continuum thermomechanics and selection of appropriate internal variables (such as amount and orientation of volumetric fraction of each phase) and control variables (like strain, stress, temperature and entropy), their... 

Austenitic stainless steels have extensive and special mechanical properties because of austenite to α΄-martensite transformation due to plastic work. Obtaining a process path that provides maximum strength and flexibility and minimum α΄-martensite content (α΄-martensite increases corrosion current) in these steels is important in the industry. Applying the aging process after applying plastic strain (single-stage aging) results in an increase in strength of up to 200 MPa and an increase in hardness of up to 60 Vickers. However, single-stage aging does not cause significant changes in the amount of α΄-martensite in steel and in the temperature range of 400 to 500 ° C, it causes a slight...
