Developing bearing steels combining hydrogen resistance and improved hardness
This article has been awarded the Vanadium Award by the Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining as the best contribution in the Physical Metallurgy of Vanadium for work performed in 2012. The article was essential in obtaining the £6.8 million EP/L014742/1 EPSRC programme grant “Hydrogen in metals – from fundamentals to the design of new steels” as it demonstrates that ultra-strong hydrogen-resistant steels can be computer-designed. Additionally, three companies have confirmed funds to continue this research in the Department: SKF, Rolls-Royce and Vanitec. Two patent applications resulted from this work: 2012E00137NL and 2012E00184NL.
