Bauschinger Effect in Microalloyed Steels: Part I. Dependence on Dislocation-Particle Interaction
This paper is one of the first to fully relate Bauschinger stress parameters for precipitate strengthened ferritic steels to particle size distributions and dislocation densities. The results indicated, for the first time, that a minimum particle size of around 12 nm is required before particles contribute to the Bauschinger effect and revealed the effect of copper, which rationalised a number of empirical reports. This publication led to another PhD (with Tata Steel, Edwin.Jackson@tatasteel.com) on higher strength grades (bainitic structures), an exchange with Beihang University (S.Wu.1@bham.ac.uk) and to X80 samples from ArecelorMittal.
