The surface properties of some steel alloys can be adjusted through the introduction of specific elements via diffusion. An example of such a process is nitriding, where nitrogen is diffused into the ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

The figure shows the evolution of the microstructure of the melt pool under the influence of the simulated transient temperature field. Nucleated grains are represented in pink-purple plots, while ...
