Special Issue on manifold visualisation and simulation technologies for steel manufacturing published in Steel Research International.

This Special Section covers various aspects of high manganese steels revealing the ongoing interest both in the application-focussed technological development as well as in the scientific interest in the various physical phenomena, characteristic for this fascinating group of materials.

In its 90th year of publication, steel research international welcomes you to look back on some important developments in the area of steel research as presented by authors from science and industry.

A proposal to extend the traditional two-dimensional material performance map to a multi-dimensional view incorporating local formability, such as hole expansion ratio or bending angle during the development of future automotive steel grades.

A perceptive review of progress observed in development of ferrous materials models for computational engineering applications is presented.
