High Strength Steels summarizes the historical context and recent research directions of new high strength steels including high-strength low alloyed steel (HSLA), dual-phase (DP) steel, transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) assisted steel, quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steel, medium-Mn steel, high-Mn twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel, bainitic steel, martensitic steel and maraging steel. In particular, the state-of-the-art understanding of the processing-microstructure-property relationship of these high-strength steels is the focus of this book. More importantly, the authors’ understanding on the deformation mechanisms of high-strength steels, which is based on their extensive research works over the last two decades, is thoroughly incorporated. Engineering applications of these materials are also discussed. High Strength Steels is suitable for new entrants or those working in related fields in academia and R&D in the subject areas of materials science and engineering and metallurgy.

Aliphatic Alkylation in Petroleum Refining provides a fundamental understanding on the alkylation process, from molecular-level interfacial properties to macroscopic industry plants. Since the direct distillation of oil fractions does not satisfy the whole demand for fuel feedstocks, processes such as reforming, isomerization, and alkylation are needed to fulfill the market requirements within the gasoline pool. From the processes mentioned above, this book covers one of the most important refining processes due to the high quality of the alkylate with high research octane number (RON).Although the Aliphatic alkylation with H2SO4 and HF as catalysts have been industrialized for many years, there still exists lots of problems due to the complex heterogeneous reaction, such as the thermodynamics, reaction mechanism, molecular-level interfacial properties, and so on.

Ductility and Formability of Metals: A Metallurgical Engineering Perspective uses metallurgical, mechanical and physical principles and concepts to explain ductility while emphasizing the influence of material microstructure on damage mechanisms. Focusing on steel, aluminum, copper, titanium and magnesium alloys, the book examines the strain hardening behaviors of these metals and alloys, the influence of strain rate and temperature, and ductile fracture mechanics. Hot plastic deformation is covered with special consideration given to its interplay with recrystallization phenomena. Other phenomena such as Dynamic Strain Ageing (DSA) and Adiabatic Shear Banding (ASB) are discussed, and metal working applications such as forging, extrusion and machining are included throughout. Methods for control of ductile cracks in metal parts resulting from rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing, and sheet metal forming are also outlined.
