2010
Xiazhong, Qin
This paper discusses the impact of the 11th Five-Year Development Plans of China’s Energy & Petrochemical Industry on the Pressure Vessel Industry. The paper provides a brief introduction to the key areas, requirements and presents the current status of pressure vessel development and associated steel grade developments. Covering a range of topics from new materials requirements, storage-transport vessels, and heat exchangers through to the present status of steel requirements for coal gasification, the paper concludes with an examination of the future requirements for pressure vessel steels.

Strengthening Mechanisms and Their Relative Contributions to the Yield Strength of Microalloyed Steels
The Charles Hatchett Award is important to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. Introduced over 40 years ago, The Charles Hatchett Award is a prestigious recognition that aims to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. The award is sponsored by CBMM | Niobium and recognizes the best published research on the science and technology of Niobium. The annual award brings together technical experts worldwide, and a panel of international experts selects the winning paper. The 2013 Charles Hatchett Award winners’ presentation aims to understand the strengthening mechanism of micro alloyed steels by determining strengthening contributions due to the effects of the grain size and the influence of precipitation.
