Presentation title: Revisit of bake hardening mechanism: Influence of baking on tensile properties of press hardening steels

Prof. Haiwen LUO has been working in the ferrous metallurgy for more than 20 years with the emphasis on understanding the relation of chemistries, processing routes, microsructures and the properties/performance of advanced steels. His recent effort is to develop new types of ultrahigh strength steels with good ductility/tounghness, and also touched some spherical steels including bearing steels for longer fatigue life and electrical steels for improved maganetic properties and higher strength. He is among the earliest researhers studying medium Mn steels for automotive and has published dozens of papers in highly ranked scientific jounrals. He has been yearly awarded the most cited Chinese researcher by Elsevier and Shanghai Ranking for his exceptional research performance in the field of metallurgy engineering since 2020.
