HKU Super Steel project attains major breakthrough with collaborators at Berkeley Lab in producing high strength steel at unprecedented levels of fracture resistance
The Super Steel project led by Professor Huang Mingxin at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), with collaborators at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), has made important breakthrough in its new super D&P steel (produced using a new deformed and partitioned method) to greatly enhance its fracture resistance while maintaining super strong in strength for advanced industrial applications.
The findings were published in Science on 8 May 2020 in the paper titled “Making Ultrastrong Steel Tough by Grain-Boundary Delamination”
香港大学2020年5月12日网站发布信息，香港大學工程學團隊「超級鋼」研究夥拍柏克萊國家實驗室提升超強鋼材抗斷裂能力獲得重大突破。
香港大學機械工程系黃明欣教授領導的「超級鋼」研發項目，繼於三年前在鋼材的延展性取得重大突破後，團隊與美國柏克萊國家實驗室於5月8日在學術期刊《科學》（Science）合作發表的研究報告，在提升「超級鋼」的抗破裂折斷能力（韌性）也取得重大進展。
本公司为该项目提供的Epsilon3541引伸计用于断裂韧性测试，3542引伸计用于变形测试。
TE provide extensometer from Epsilon to this research. The testing machine of dynamic testing machine and tensile testing machine can do fracture toughness and tensile strength for steel.
