Physical Metallurgy of High Manganese Steels

 About the Special Issue Editors

Wolfgang Bleck (Prof. Dr.- Ing.) has been the head of the Steel Institute at RWTH Aachen University in Germany for 25 years. He received his Dipl.-Ing. degree and, subsequently, Dr.-Ing. degree in physical metallurgy from Clausthal University, Germany. He was affiliated with the research department at Thyssen Stahl AG in Duisburg, Germany from 1980 to 1993, where he became Head of the department for process and steel development of flat-rolled products. Since 1994, he has been Professor of ferrous metallurgy at RWTH Aachen University, where he teaches materials science at undergraduate and graduate levels, and participates in research activities on both a national and international level. He has supervised more than 100 PhD students, authored more than 250 publications, and holds several patents. Wolfgang Bleck also served as a member of the senate in 2002–2005, as Vice-Rector of RWTH Aachen University, and in 2014–2016, as Dean of the Faculty of Georesources and Materials Science and Engineering. Since 2007, he has been the spokesman of the collaborative research center SFB 761 “steel—ab initio”, dealing with the development of high and medium Mn steels. He belongs to the steering committee of the research cluster “production in high-wage countries”. He has been Adjunct Professor at Postech, Pohang in Korea, Honorary Professor at the Northeastern University in Shenyang, and an appointed Baosteel Professor in China. He is a member of the scientific councils of the National University of Science and Technology/MISiS in Moscow and of the King Mongkut University of Technology Thonburi, Bangkok. He is a member of the extended board of the German Steel Institute (VDEh), and Head of the editorial board of the journal Steel Research International. Wolfgang Bleck’s research activities are the development and characterization of advanced high-strength steels, new processes for steel products, lightweight structures, principles of steel design, and numerical modeling of material and component properties.

Christian Haase (Dr.-Ing.) received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in materials science and engineering from Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany, and Dr.-Ing. degree in metal physics in 2016 from RWTH University, Germany. He leads the research group Integrative Computational Materials Engineering at the Steel Institute of RWTH Aachen University. Dr. Haase is involved in and holds or has held leading positions in several large-scale research projects, such as the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 761 “steel—ab initio”, Cluster of Excellence “production in high-wage countries”, and “internet of production” founded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). He authored more than 50 publications and serves as reviewer for numerous leading journals in the field of materials science. His research work has been honored with several early career researcher awards, such as the DGM Young Researcher Award and establishment of the NanoMatFutur research group by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Christian Haase’s research activities focus on alloy design, material characterization, materials processing and application, advanced high-strength steels, high-entropy alloys, integrated computational materials engineering, severe plastic deformation, and additive manufacturing.
