    Abstract: A mast section (1) for a wind turbine having a longitudinal central axis (L) extending along a longitudinal direction includes at least two tubular mast elements (14) stacked along the longitudinal direction and arranged edge-to-edge at a joining plane (P). Each mast element (14) includes at least two wall segments (16), connected to one another by segment connectors (26) extending along longitudinal edges of the wall segments (16). The mast section (1) further includes element connectors (37) each extending astride the two mast elements (14), in the extension of the segment connectors (26) in the longitudinal direction. The mast section (1) further includes a plurality of element overconnectors (45), each element overconnector (45) extending astride a segment connector (26) and an adjacent element connector (37) in the longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: A cold-rolled and heat-treated steel sheet, having a composition including, by weight percent: 0.10%≤C≤0.40%, 3.5%≤Mn≤8.0%, 0.5%≤Si≤2.5%, 0.003%≤Al≤3.0%, with Si+Al≥0.8%, 0.001%≤Mo≤0.5%, S≤0.010%, P≤0.020%, N≤0.008%, and optionally one or more elements selected from a group comprising Cr, Ti, Nb, V and B, such that: 0.01%≤Cr≤2.0%, 0.010%≤Ti≤0.080%, 0.010%≤Nb≤0.080%, 0.010%≤V≤0.30%, 0.0005%≤B≤0.003%, the remainder of the composition being iron and unavoidable impurities resulting from the smelting. The microstructure includes, in surface fraction, between 10% and 50% of retained austenite, at most 8% of fresh martensite, and tempered martensite. The retained austenite includes Mn-enriched austenite, having a Mn content higher than 1.3*Mn %, Mn % designating the Mn content of the steel sheet, a surface fraction of the Mn-enriched austenite with respect to the whole microstructure is between 2% and 12%, and Mn-poor austenite, having an Mn content between 0.5*Mn % and 1.3*Mn %.

    Abstract: A method for detecting the presence of humidity on a surface of a flat strip, in particular a bare metal strip or of a coated metal strip having the following steps: blowing on the surface an impinging air flow producing an air flow deflected by the surface, the impinging air flow not being saturated, measuring a humidity content of at least a portion of the deflected air flow, comparing the humidity content of the impinging air flow and the deflected air flow, if said humidity content of the deflected air flow is superior to the humidity content of the impinging air flow, the presence of humidity on the surface of the bare metal strip or of the coated metal strip is detected.
