Abstract

The microstructure–property relationship in conventional high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel was evaluated using data obtained from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT). Atom probe tomography allowed the characterisation of fine TiC particles with average radius of 3±1·2 nm that were not observed by TEM. The increase in the yield strength of steel due to the presence of fine precipitates was calculated to be 128 MPa.
