The function and existing forms of nitrogen in the stainless steels, influence of nitrogen on mechanical properties and anti-corrosion properties as well as the application of nitrogen containing cast stainless steels were discussed in this paper. It is clear that nitrogen will be a potential and important alloying element in stainless steels. And Argon Oxygen Decarbonization (AOD) refining can provide an advanced manufacture process for nitrogen containing stainless steels with ultra-low- carbon and high cleanliness.展开更多

It has become more and more important to use raw materials and energy in an optimal way. Near-net shaping technology has attracted increasing attention in both academic and industrial communities, especially in China, because China has become the world＇s largest regional market for main material forming methods, such as casting, forging and injection molding. The main objective of this special issue in Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering is to bring together the leading ideas, experience and research results of academic scientists and researchers on various aspects of near-net shaping technology. This special issue contains eleven papers contributed by prestigious experts from different countries, including four reviews and seven research articles. These papers cover a broad area of the near-net shaping technology,展开更多
