Scope

The largest characteristic of steels is in their microstructure which is formed through various phase transformation. By controlling the microstructure, mechanical properties of steels can be widely changed depending on the demand of user. However, the detailed relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties is not cleared yet enough in steels due to their complicated microstructure. This symposium aims to discuss mechanical properties of steels such as IF steel, martensitic steel, dual phase steel, TRIP aided steel, TWIP steel, ultra fine grained steel, stainless steel etc. in connection with academic approaches; microstructual analysis, strengthening mechanism, deformation mechanism, fracture mechanism and so on.

Topics

  1. Yield Strength
  2. Deformability
  3. Fatigue
  4. Hydrogen Embrittlement
  5. Work Hardening
