Topic: Fracture mechanisms of 3^rd generation of advanced high-strength steels????????? ?March 2017-June 2018
Fracture mechanisms were studied in quenching and partitioning steels and carbide-free bainite steels using double edge-notched tension and uniaxial tension.
The fracture toughness was evaluated using J-integral and essential work of fracture methods.
The control of the compromise between tensile properties and fracture toughness was investigated.

Ph.D candidate? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????July 2013-March 2017
Topic: Production of dual-phase and transformation-induced plasticity steels by strip casting
The processing routes to produce DP and TRIP steels were developed. The influence of deformation and temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. The relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties was analysed.
The phase separation in DP steel was developed using EBSD via mean angular deviation and grain size.
Site-specific atomic scale characterisation of retained austenite in strip cast TRIP steel was studied using XRD, EBSD, TEM, EELS and APT.
?
Master’s degree ????????????????????????????????????????????????????September 2009– January 2012
Topic: Study on dynamic mechanical behaviours and microstructures of the Fe-30Mn-3Si-4Al TWIP steel
The dependence of microstructure and mechanical properties on heat treatments was analysed.
The effect of deformation temperature and high strain rate on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties was studied using split-Hopkinson pressure bar.
The deformation mechanisms involving dislocation sliding and deformation twinning were investigated with respect to stacking fault energy.
?
Short term research, Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea ???July 2011– September 2011
Topic: The development of the tower flange of 5MW class wind turbine for limit environment.
The influence of W content on continuous cooling transformation diagrams was analysed.
The dependence of corrosion resistance and hydrogen embrittlement on W content was studied.
