The aim of NAMOS is to develop a novel steel grade with enhanced mechanical properties by microstructure control through the safe addition of nanoparticles into molten steel, as well as scale up to industry. The strategy is based on grain refinement for increasing strength and toughness. As the...

The present project, which involved seven industrial or academic partners (Ascometal, Bosch, CNRS, CSIC-CENIM, GERDAU I+D EUROPA, Ruhr Universität Bochum, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern AWP), was concerned with understanding the ductility and the fatigue properties of 'carbide-free' low...
