The results of the effect of ultrafast heat treatments on the microstructure and the phase transformations in medium carbon steels were presented at the International Conference for Solid to Solid Phase Transformations in Inorganic Materials, in Whistler, Canada on July 2nd, 2015
Three years ago ELKEME joined forces with the National Technical University of Athens (Greece), the Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) and Gent University (Belgium) to commence the subject study since this new heat treatment approach is a promising and cost efficient method to improve the mechanical properties of steels used in automotive applications. The subject of the study presented was:
“Microstructural Evolution During Ultrafast Heat treatment of Medium Carbon Steels”
