Megan Hurley publishes paper comparing effects of different heating methods on austenitized steel microstructures under high magnetic field

August 12, 2026

Megan Hurley published “Comparative Analysis of Austenitized Steel Microstructures Due to Induction and Conventional Heating in High Magnetic Field” in Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A. This brief communication discusses the different effects that induction and conventional heating have on austenite grain growth and annealing twin formation in a near-eutectoid steel composition after heat-treatment with and […]
