Effect of Cyclic Intercritical Tempering on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a Low-Carbon Cu-Bearing 7Ni Steel
High strength and toughness are usually hard to obtain simultaneously because of the trade-off. In this research, cyclic intercritical tempering (IT) was applied to a low-carbon Cu-bearing 7Ni steel to pursue ...
