Low-alloy structural steels subjected to quenching and tempering to achieve high strength possess a common drawback associated with low-impact toughness at low temperatures. An additional warm rolling, i.e., tempforming, is a promising approach to strengthen the rolled semi-products along with increasing their impact toughness. The effect of tempforming at 823-923 K on the microstructures and the mechanical properties of a low-alloy steel was studied in comparison with ordinary tempering at the same temperatures. The tempformed microstructures consisted of highly flattened grains with a transverse grain size of 245 nm to 360 nm depending on tempering temperature. A decrease in the transverse grain size with a decreasing temperature was accompanied by an increase in the total dislocation density (including sub-boundary dislocations) from 3.3 × 10 m to 5.9 × 10 m. The steel samples subjected to tempforming exhibited enhanced mechanical properties. The yield strength increased by more than 300 MPa, approaching about 1200-1500 MPa depending on tempforming temperature. Moreover, strengthening by tempforming was accompanied by an increase in the impact toughness, especially inthe low temperature range down to 77 K, where the impact toughness was above 80 J cm.

Natural materials are valued for their lightweight properties, high strength, impact resistance, and fracture toughness, often outperforming human-made materials. This paper reviews recent research on biomimetic composites, focusing on how composition, microstructure, and interfacial characteristics affect mechanical properties like strength, stiffness, and toughness. It explores biological structures such as mollusk shells, bones, and insect exoskeletons that inspire lightweight designs, including honeycomb structures for weight reduction and impact resistance.

The abrasive wear performance of TiC particle-reinforced high-manganese steel matrix composites with a spherical hierarchical structure under moderate impact energy was investigated. In the composites, TiC particles (10 μm in diameter) were concentrated within discrete spherical composite regions with diameters of about 100 μm. Impact abrasive wear tests were conducted to evaluate the wear performance of the composites with different volume fractions (30%, 40%, and 50%) of TiC particles compared with the matrix and a uniformly distributed TiC particle composite.

Forging additive hybrid manufacturing integrated the high efficiency of forging and the great flexibility of additive manufacturing, which has significant potential in the construction of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs). In the components, the heat-affected zone (HAZ, also called as bonding zone) between the forged substrate zone and the arc deposition zone was key to the final performance of the components. In this study, the Mn-Mo-Ni welding wire was deposited on the 16MnD5 substrate with a submerged arc heat source.

Plants express many types of defenses in response to herbivory damage. These defenses can be displayed as a sequence or they can overlap, increasing efficiency in protection. However, leaf defense shifts during leaf development, including extrafloral nectaries (EFNs), are neglected in natural tropical systems.
