Exploring the effect of complex hierarchic microstructure of quenched and partitioned martensitic stainless steels on their high cycle fatigue behaviour

Not relevant to microplastics — this paper investigates high cycle fatigue behavior of quenched-and-partitioned martensitic stainless steels, exploring how their complex retained-austenite microstructure affects fatigue fracture performance.

Quantification and effects of microstructural dispersions on the mechanical behaviour of low carbon martensite

Researchers examined the mechanical behaviour of low-carbon martensitic steel, demonstrating that the sequential nature of the martensitic phase transformation from the Ms temperature to ambient temperature produces microstructural heterogeneities rather than a uniform phase. This reinterpretation — viewing lath martensite as a multiphase aggregate — helps explain paradoxical properties such as low microplasticity yield and strong initial hardening.

Transformation Kinetics, Microplasticity and Aging of Martensite in FE-31 Ni.

This materials science study examines microplastic behavior in iron-nickel martensite alloys, finding that stress-induced phase transformation produces unusually large microplastic strains. The term 'microplasticity' refers to small-scale plastic deformation in metals and is not related to environmental plastic pollution.

Stability of retained austenite in high carbon steel under compressive stress: an investigation from macro to nano scale

This materials science study investigates how retained austenite in high-carbon steel behaves under compressive stress at both macro and nano scales, using electron microscopy and diffraction techniques. The research addresses industrial steel performance and has no direct connection to microplastics or environmental health.

The quantitative relationship between non-linear stress-strain behaviour and dislocation structure in martensitic stainless steel

Researchers showed that martensitic stainless steel behaves in a more complex, non-linear way at low stresses than previously assumed, and developed a refined model to quantify tiny reversible deformations caused by dislocation movement, with implications for precision industrial applications where small strains matter.

Dynamic Processes of Substructural Rearrangement under Friction of Carbon Steel

This study examined how heat treatment affects the friction and wear properties of medium carbon steel, linking material microstructure to tribological performance. The research is focused on materials engineering with limited direct relevance to microplastic pollution or human health.

Adjusting the very high cycle fatigue properties of a metastable austenitic stainless steel by means of the martensite content

This metallurgy study examined how pre-deforming stainless steel to introduce martensite phase changes its fatigue properties under very high cycle loading. This is a materials engineering study on metal alloys with no relevance to environmental microplastics.

Quantification of dislocation structures from anelastic deformation behaviour

This materials science study analyzes the pre-yield deformation behavior of iron and low-alloy steel, modeling how dislocations move reversibly before permanent plastic deformation begins. The research is relevant to structural materials engineering but has no connection to microplastics or environmental health.

Micromechanical aspects of the effect of temperature and local plastic strain magnitude on the fracture toughness of ferrite steels

This materials science study examined how temperature and plastic strain affect the fracture toughness of ferrite steels at the microscopic scale. The term 'microplastic' here refers to microscopic plastic deformation in metal — this is an engineering study unrelated to plastic particle pollution.
