The aging process exerts a profound influence on the mechanical and physical properties of steel. As steel deteriorates, its microstructure undergoes changes that alter its strength, ductility, hardness, and corrosion resistance. These modifications are primarily attributed to phenomena such as grai
Bainite is a phase in steel that significantly influences hardenability. It forms during rapid cooling and exhibits intermediate properties. Bainite's presence can both boost and restrict a steel's ability to {harden{ through heat treatment. This nuance stems from bainite's unique structure which co
The metallurgical/physical/chemical processes contributing to ageing phenomena in steel are complex and multifaceted. Over time,/With exposure to various environmental factors,/As a result of sustained loading, steel undergoes transformations/modifications/changes that can significantly influence it
