The strength–ductility trade-off has been a long-standing dilemma in materials science. This has limited the potential of many structural materials, steels in particular. Here we report a way of ...

What do gears, bearings, and shafts have in common? For one thing, they're often made out of steel. For another, they're subject to a failure mode known as rolling contact fatigue. Rolling contact ...

A 4-step heat treatment for hardening case-carburized steels has been developed and is here described and compared with conventional hardening. In step 1 of this new method, steel is case carburized ...
