The chemical composition and wire-rod production process of low-carbon, precipitation-strengthened bainitic steels were specially designed for the production of cold-headed products without heat-treating operations. The chemical composition of the bainitic steel was developed using high Ti...

Bridges are an integral part of the worldwide traffic infrastructure and long-span bridges especially contribute to mobility and economy of time in travelling. Improvements of the steel-plated cross-sections of steel and composite bridge structures help to enhance the competitiveness of such...

This project aims to develop hygienic surfaces and coatings on steel, in order to reduce microbial proliferation and related contamination, and to provide easy-to-clean or self-cleaning surfaces. With this objective in mind, coatings/treatments with antimicrobial and easy-to-clean properties...
