Microstructure evolution in irons and steels: a tribute to David V. Edmonds

J. G. Speer and H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia

The contributions of David Vernon Edmonds to the study of microstructural evolution over the past four decades are reviewed, in a tribute to mark his recent retirement from the Chair of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Leeds. The scientific discoveries in the Edmonds group are highlighted in the context of microalloyed, ferritic, pearlitic, bainitic and martensitic steels, as well as cementite and cast iron, and in a variety of non-ferrous fields including high-density tungsten and uranium alloys, titanium alloys and twin-roll thin-strip casting.
