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.
