Dynamic strain induced transformation (DSIT) is an interesting processing route to obtain ultrafine ferrite grains. In the present work, the effect of Nb on DSIT was investigated. Samples of low C–Mn steels, with and without Nb, were intensively deformed in hot torsion, aiming at the production of ultrafine ferrite grains. After soaking at 1200°C, the samples were cooled to 1100°C, submitted to hot torsion deformation to decrease the grain size and then cooled to 900, 850 or 800°C for further hot ...

The performance of cold rolled dual-phase (DP) steels depends on their microstructure, which results from the thermomechanical processing conditions, involving hot rolling, cold rolling, and continuous annealing. The knowledge on the influence of each annealing stage on the microstructure formation is essential for manufacturing high-quality DP steels. In the present work, the effects of some intercritical annealing parameters (heating rate, soaking temperature, soaking time, and quench temperature) ...

Sleep is important for maintenance of skeletal muscle health. Sleep debt can induce muscle atrophy by increasing glucocorticoids and decreasing testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I. These hormonal alterations result in a highly proteolytic environment characterized by decreased protein synthesis and increased degradation. Given that sleep deprivation is increasingly prevalent in modern society, strategies to minimize or reverse its adverse effects need to be investigated. ...

The thermomechanical parameters have a great influence on the restoration processes of the steels and, consequently, on the grain size and morphology during and after deformation. At higher deformation temperatures the ferritic grain refinement may occur by dynamic recrystallization of austenite (DRX) and at lower temperatures, the operating mechanism might be dynamic strain-induced austenite–ferrite transformation (DSIT). In the present work, the effect of thermomechanical parameters on DSIT was ...

The lack of reliable communication infrastructure in these scenarios has motivated the use of UAVs to establish a network as flying nodes, also known as Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs). However, the high mobility degree of flying and terrestrial users may be responsible for constant changes in the network topology, which makes more challenging ...
