This book presents groundbreaking findings on how grain refinement affects phase transformations and the mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained steels. Grain refinement can significantly improve the strength and toughness of metals. Although the effect of grain refinement on material strength has been extensively studied, its impact on solid-state phase transformation in metals is not yet... Read more
