Effects of Pulsed Magnetic Fields of Different Intensities on Dislocation Density, Residual Stress, and Hardness of Cr4Mo4V Steel
Summary
This paper studied how pulsed magnetic fields affect the internal stress and hardness of a bearing steel alloy. While unrelated to microplastics, research on material durability is relevant to reducing wear-generated particles from industrial machinery, which can contribute to microplastic and metal particle pollution.
To study the effects of pulsed magnetic fields of different intensities on the dislocation density, residual stress, and hardness of Cr4Mo4V steel, magnetic treatment is conducted at 0, 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 T. The dislocation density and residual stress are measured using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray technique, respectively. The results reveal the dislocation density and compressive residual stress decrease at lower magnetic fields such as 1.0 T and 1.3 T, while they increase at higher magnetic fields such as 2.0 T and 2.5 T. The average value of kernel averaged misorientation (KAM) and compressive residual stress decrease about 10.4% and 15.8%, respectively, at 1.0 T, while they increase about 5.88% and 18.2%, respectively, at 2.5 T. The average value of hardness decreases about 3.5% at 1.0 T, from 817 HV to 787 HV. With the increments of intensities, the hardness of the treated samples increases. The hardness essentially remains unchanged at 2.0 T and 2.5 T. The reason for the dislocation motion under the action of pulsed magnetic fields is discussed.

Influence of Tempering Transformation Induced Plasticity (T-TRIP) on the Evolution of Residual Stresses in Laser Heat Treated 50CrMo4 Steel
Despite its title referencing "plasticity," this paper studies residual stresses in a type of industrial steel (50CrMo4) during laser heat treatment — not plastic pollution or microplastics. It examines how tempering transformation induced plasticity affects metal component stresses and is entirely outside the field of microplastic research.

Material Response to Rolling Contact Loading
This materials science study investigates how rolling contact in ball bearings causes microplastic deformation in steel, leading to crystallographic texture changes, residual stresses, and eventual fatigue failure. The term 'microplastic' in this paper refers to small-scale plastic deformation in metals and has no connection to environmental plastic pollution.
