The current study investigated the effect of hot rolling reduction rate of ultra-high strength low alloy steel manufactured via the direct quenching process on microstructure, tensile and high-cycle fatigue properties of the alloy. In order to control the reduction rate of ultra-high strength steels (UHSSs) differently, the steels were produced with two different thicknesses, 6 mm (46.2%-reduction rate, A) and 15 mm (11.

The microstructure, temperature-dependent mechanical properties and deformation behaviors of equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) additively manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) were investigated. SLM-built HEA had a face-centered cubic (FCC) single-phase random solid solution. In addition, SLM-built HEA was composed of epitaxial growth grains, dislocation network and nano-sized oxides.

This study investigated the room-temperature compressive property and deformation behavior of microporous STS 316L stainless steel tube for catalyst manufactured with powder sintering after two-way compression molding. The microporous tube was manufactured using STS 316L powder stocks with an outer diameter of 30 mm, inner diameter of 25 mm and length of 120 mm. In initial microstructure observed from different directions and locations, the porosity was measured as 32%, and the relative density obtained using micro-computed tomography was 0.

This study is related to cold spray 3D printing (kinetic metallization) capable of manufacturing near-net shape material. Anisotropy on the compressive deformation behavior of pure copper materials manufactured using cold spray process was investigated. In addition, the deformed microstructures that change according to strain were analyzed with different direction (spraying direction, perpendicular direction).

This study investigated the effect of post-heat treatment on the microstructures and mechanical properties of severe plastically deformed hypo- and hyper-eutectoid steels that underwent a caliber rolling process. First, 28 passes of caliber rolling were performed on both the hypo-eutectoid steel with Fe-0.47% C (wt%) composition and the hyper-eutectoid steel with Fe-1.
