Article Abstract
To achieve a balanced combination of high strength and high plasticity in high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel through a hot-rolling process, post-heat treatment is essential. The effects of post-roll air cooling and oil quenching and subsequent tempering treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of HSLA steels were investigated, and the relevant strengthening and toughening mechanisms were analyzed. The microstructure after hot rolling consists of fine martensite and/or bainite with a high density of internal dislocations and lattice defects. Grain boundary strengthening and dislocation strengthening are the main strengthening mechanisms. After tempering, the specimens' microstructures are dominated by tempered martensite, with fine carbides precipitated inside. The oil-quenched and tempered specimens exhibit tempering performance, with a yield strength (YS) of 1410.5 MPa, an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 1758.6 MPa, and an elongation of 15.02%, which realizes the optimization of the comprehensive performance of HSLA steel.

Passenger cars have unibody constructions, which means that their collision damage often involves key structural components. Successful repair requires the selection of appropriate technology and adherence to quality standards, which directly affects the safety of the vehicle's continued operation. A commonly used method is a system of replacing damaged components with new ones, while repair by molding and forming is also possible-provided the original structural features are preserved.

The article presents an analysis of the mechanical properties of S700MC steel, which represents advanced low-alloy high-strength steels. The influence of microstructure, shaped by a controlled thermo-mechanical rolling process, on the strength, ductility, and resistance to cracking and fatigue of the material is discussed. Particular attention is paid to the anisotropy of mechanical properties resulting from the orientation relative to the rolling direction, manifested by variations in yield strength, tensile strength, and total elongation of the specimens.

Internal crack defects in high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels during continuous casting pose significant challenges to downstream processing and product reliability. However, due to the inherent class imbalance in industrial defect datasets, conventional machine learning models often suffer from poor sensitivity to minority class instances. This study proposes a predictive framework that integrates conditional tabular generative adversarial network (CTGAN) for synthetic minority sample generation and CatBoost for classification.

This study investigates the influence of rare earth element Ce addition on the nanoscale precipitation, microstructure, and mechanical properties of Ti-containing secondary phases in high-strength low-alloy weathering steel. Mechanical property testing and microstructural characterization were performed on experimental samples subjected to rolling-aging treatment. The results demonstrate that the addition of Ce promotes coarsening of nanoscale precipitates, thereby diminishing their precipitation strengthening effect.

Reasonable welding methods are of great significance for optimizing the microstructure and ensuring the mechanical properties of welded joints. In this study, ultra-narrow gap welding (UNGW) and submerged arc welding (SAW) were employed to weld Q355E high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel thick plates, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joints were systematically characterized. The UNGW welded joint exhibits superior comprehensive mechanical properties: a room-temperature tensile strength of 664 MPa with 43.
