Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method was practiced, in the current investigation, to obtain fully dense materials with an excellent dispersion of MWCNTs (Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes) within the matrix. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy microgr ...
In this study, we report our observation of the interaction between a moving dislocation and an obstacle of dislocation character in pure bcc-Fe using a TEM in situ straining experiment at room temperature. Our observations reveal that the interaction of a ...
A mechanism for (1 0 (1) over bar 2) twin nucleation in Mg is studied in which edge < c > and mixed < c + a > lattice dislocations dissociate into a stable twin, having at least the minimum 6-layer thickness formed by three glissile twinning dislocations, ...
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 ...

Body-centered cubic metals are of high technological interest: for example tungsten as potential plasma facing component in future fusion reactors, molybdenum employed in aircraft parts, niobium as superconducting magnets, etc. The characteristics of their ...
The intrinsic lattice resistance to dislocation motion, or Peierls stress, depends on the core structure of the dislocation and is one essential feature controlling plastic anisotropy in materials such as HCP Zn, Mg, and Ti. Here, we implement an anisotrop ...
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 ...
Deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline electrodeposited Ni (26 nm) and Ni-Fe (12 nm) are studied by strain rate sensitivity experiments and in situ mechanical testing during X-ray diffraction. We find a relatively low strength for Ni-Fe, which may be as ...
Solute strengthening in substitutional alloys can be classified into two categories, strong-pinning (Friedel) and weak-pinning (Labusch), each with its own characteristic scaling with concentration and temperature. The transition between the two strengthen ...
