Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In most cases, failure occurs at the surface of materials, such as wear, corrosion, and fatigue failure. In particular, surface corrosion and wear are the main problems that cause material loss of mechanical parts. In order to improve the surface property of certain  steel materials, various surface treatments have been developed. Chemical, electrochemical, metallurgical, physical, and mechanical treatments are the main surface treatment methods. These treatments can enhance the surface appearance of steel parts, and more importantly, they can improve their corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and other mechanical and chemical properties, which help to prolong the service life of steel parts.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not be limited to) the following:

  • Surface treatments to improve the mechanical properties of steel materials;
  • Surface treatments to improve the chemical properties of steel materials;
  • Characterization of coatings on steel materials;
  • Influences of surface modification (surface corrosion included) on mechanical properties of steel materials;
  • Any other aspects of surface treatments for steel materials.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

High manganese steel has always been subjected to pre-hardening treatment before use owing to its low initial strength. Therefore, cast high manganese steel was pre-hardened in this work by surface impacting treatment under different parameters to evaluate its state. The microstructures, hardening characteristics, and wear resistances of the pre-hardened high manganese steel samples were all investigated. The results indicated that increasing the sample temperature, reducing the impact pin size, and increasing the impact times on a single-point can enhance the surface hardening effect to different degrees. Dislocations and deformation twins were produced on the top surface and within a certain depth of test steel under different impacting conditions. The optimal hardening effect of test steel was achieved at a temperature of 300 °C, a pin size of 10 × 10 mm2, and 9 impacts on a single point. The surface hardness of the treated sample reached 542 HV. For friction and wear testing, the best wear resistance was achieved at a temperature of 300 °C, a pin size of 10 × 10 mm2, and 3 impacts on a single point with a surface hardness of 446 HV. Further enhancement in impact hardening effect resulted in microcracking along the surface of test steel. In turn, the induced embrittlement led to the poor wear resistance. Full article

The tensile properties of high manganese austenitic steels with a carbon content ranging from 0.79 to 1.28 wt.% were tested. X-ray diffraction, electron backscattering diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and optical microscopy were used to observe the microstructures after tensile deformation. Results showed that the strength and plasticity of these high manganese austenitic steels increased with increasing carbon content. The tensile strength and elongation of the 130Mn11 steel reached 941 MPa and 38.2%, respectively. The 0.79% carbon-containing steel (80Mn11) formed the most deformation twins at the same strain because of the low stacking fault energy, which resulted in a high strain hardening rate. However, this high strain hardening rate was unsustainable, and the tensile properties of the 80Mn11 steel were the worst, with its tensile strength nearly 200 MPa lower than that of the 130Mn11 steel. In the case of the 1.28% carbon-containing steel (130Mn11), the relatively low density of deformation twins, the large number of dislocations, and intensified DSA effect made the steel display a moderate strain hardening rate, which facilitated the sustainability of deformation, and an excellent combination of strength and plasticity were obtained.
