A simple 0D analytical model for the prediction of the take-off point observed in critical-current or current-sharing tests in cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) is presented. This may be referred to also as the quench point and defined as the point where ...
Ferritic/martensitic steels considered as candidate first-wall materials for fusion reactors experience significant radiation hardening at temperatures below similar to400 degreesC. A number of experimental studies in ferritic alloys, performed at 1/2(111) ...
The Two-Way Shape Memory Effect (TWSME) has been widely studied in the literature. However, little attention has been paid about the out-of-equilibrium behavior of the TWSME. This paper reports some experiments, which were performed on specimens, previousl ...
In an effort to better understand the plasticity of tempered martensitic steels, uniaxial tension and compression tests were carried out. The temperature dependence of both the yield stress and the post-yield stress behavior were compared, and it was shown ...
At present, little is known about the response of the martensitic phase in TiNi alloys to heavy ion irradiation. However, previous studies [2,3] of ion and electron irradiation show that these alloys are highly susceptible to disorder and amorphization at ...
A new procedure of X-ray line profile analysis based on the dislocation model of strain anisotropy has been applied. The dislocation densities and the subgrain size-distributions in a MANET steel are investigated in the normal condition and after cyclic de ...
Considerable research work has been conducted on the ferritic/martensitic steels since the last International Conference on Fusion Reactor Materials in 1999. Since only a limited amount of that work can be reviewed in this paper, four areas will be emphasi ...
The purpose of the present work is to study the relation between the microstructure and the martensitic transformation in a binary NiTi alloy. Moreover, it has been conducted on wires which diameters are between 1.52mm and 50µm in order to demonstrate the ...
The microstructure of the low activation F82H ferritic/martensitic steel has been investigated in the case of the heat treated and irradiated material. The irradiation has been achieved with 590 MeV protons in the PIREX facility to a dose of 0.5 dpa at a t ...
We report on carrier-induced effects on emission and absorption in forward biased GaAs/AlGaAs V-groove quantum wire (QWR) diodes observed using low-temperature (10 K) photoluminescence (PL), electroluminescence (EL) and PL excitation (PLE) spectroscopy. In ...
