In 1080 steel, low laser energy input produced high-carbon martensite, resulting in a yield strength (YS) of 1773 MPa and an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of nearly 2000 MPa. Higher energy input ...
The traditional route to high strength in steels is by quenching to form martensite which is subsequently reheated or tempered at an intermediate temperature, increasing the toughness of the steel ...
