Kokko ED - Eduardo Valencia Morales Y1 - 2011-12-22 PY - 2011 T1 - Alloy Steel: Properties and Use First-Principles Quantum Mechanical Approach to Stainless Steel Alloys N2 - The sections in this book are devoted to new approaches and usages of stainless steels, the influence of the environments on the behavior of certain classes of steels, new structural concepts to understand some fatigue processes, new insight on strengthening mechanisms, and toughness in microalloyed steels. The kinetics during tempering in low-alloy steels is also discussed through a new set-up that uses a modified Avrami formalism.
