The crystallography of bainite, transformed isothermally at 450 °C in 0.2C-2.0Mn-1.5Si-0.6Cr steel, was investigated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The orientation relationship (OR) was found to be closer to Nishiyama-Wassermann (N-W) ...
A monocrystalline 18-carat yellow gold sample is deformed stepwise from 2% to 12% at room temperature. The mechanical loss spectrum is recorded and analysed. At low deformations the exponential high temperature background increases. At a critical deformati ...
We propose and experimentally demonstrate an integrated hybrid optical fiber sensing technique that combines distributed Raman-based temperature measurements with a time-domain approach for FBG dynamic interrogation using a shared optical source and receiv ...
The trigonal strain-relief pattern formed by an Ag bilayer on Pt(111) is a prominent example for dislocation networks and their use as nanotemplates. However, its atomic structure has not been solved. Combining scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy ion ...
Nanocrystalline (Y0.7Gd0.3)(2)O-3 powder, synthetised via polymer complex solution method, was compacted into 25 pellets applying high pressures (173-867 MPa) for 30 s that were subsequently sintered at different temperatures (800-1400 degrees C) for 18 h. ...
Dislocation densities have been measured in Ni3Al(Hf) single crystals after deformation at various temperatures and strains. In addition, effective and athermal stresses have been determined by strain dip tests. A model is proposed for the strength anomaly ...
Ferritic steels are the main candidates for the structural components of future fusion reactors. Because of the complexity of their structure, most of the simulation works are focused on the base phase of these materials such as alpha-Fe or Fe-Cr alloy. In ...
Irradiated austenitic stainless steels, because of their low stacking fault energy and high shear modulus, should exhibit a high ratio of stacking fault tetrahedra relative to the overall population of radiation induced nanometric defects. Experimental obs ...
Ferritic steels are the main candidates for the structural components of future fusion reactors. Because of the complexity of their structure, most of the simulation works are focused on the base phase of these materials such as alpha-Fe or Fe-Cr alloy. In ...
The friction stress resulting from alloying elements in industrial alloys is an important strengthening mechanism. Since the preparation of single crystal from industrial material is difficult, no direct measurement of this quantity has been reported in li ...
