Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical Properties of B₄C-Reinforced TC11 + xFe Composites Fabricated by HIP by Shenwei Qian, Nan Wang, Feng Chen, Yangyang Sun, Jiong Zhao, Hui Chang, Liang Feng, Lian Zhou

“…The hardness increased by 19.4% (2 wt% B₄C-reinforced composites) compared with TC11 alloy. However, the addition of 2 wt% Fe at the same B₄C level (2 wt% B₄C + 2 wt% Fe-reinforced composites) resulted in a significant increase in hardness by 37.5% and 15.2% in compressive strengths of TMC and can be attributed to the solid solution strengthening effect and higher dislocation density provided by the addition of Fe. …”

The Modification of Sodium Polyacrylate Water Solution Cooling Properties by AL2O3 by Wojciech Gęstwa, Małgorzata Przyłęcka

“…The cooling medium containing nanoparticles provides lower cooling speed in the smallest surface austenite occurance (500–600 C) in the charts of the CTP for most nonalloy structural steels and low-alloy steels. However lower cooling temperature at the beginning of martensitic transformation causes the formation of smaller internal stresses, leading to smaller dimensional changes and hardening deformation. …”
