Abstract
Cu-rich nanocluster strengthening in ferritic steels has attracted considerable attention in recent years and has become the cornerstone for the development of high-strength low-carbon steels. This entry intends to provide a comprehensive review of the recent developments of the Cu-rich nanocluster-strengthened ferritic steels. The unique structural evolution and interfacial segregation of the Cu-rich nanoclusters, as characterized by scanning transmission electron microscope and atom probe tomography, will be presented and discussed. In addition, their tensile properties, impact resistance, welding properties, and radiation effects will all be summarized and analyzed.
