Steels represent an interesting family of materials, both from a scientific and commer- cial point of view, considering the many innovative applications they can be used for [1]. It is therefore essential to understand the relations between properties and microstructure and how to drive them via a specific process. Despite their wide use as a consolidated material, many research fields remain active in finding new applications for steels. Par- ticularly within this framework, the role of heat treatments in obtaining even complex microstructures is still a relatively open matter, thanks to the design of these innovative heat treatments [2–6]. The Special Issue scope embraces interdisciplinary work covering physical metallurgy and processes, reporting on experimental and theoretical progress concerning microstruc- tural evolution during the heat treatments of steels.

Abstract
Steels represent an interesting family of materials, both from a scientific and commer- cial point of view, considering the many innovative applications they can be used for [1]. It is therefore essential to understand the relations between properties and microstructure and how to drive them via a specific process. Despite their wide use as a consolidated material, many research fields remain active in finding new applications for steels. Par- ticularly within this framework, the role of heat treatments in obtaining even complex microstructures is still a relatively open matter, thanks to the design of these innovative heat treatments [2–6]. The Special Issue scope embraces interdisciplinary work covering physical metallurgy and processes, reporting on experimental and theoretical progress concerning microstruc- tural evolution during the heat treatments of steels.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
