Analytical determination of the constitutive behavior from micro-pillar testing: Application to a tempered martensitic steel

Philippe Spätig, Hans-Peter Seifert, Nazar Ilchuk

Micro-compression experiments were carried out on micro-pillars, with nominal diameter of 10 mu m and height 20 mu m, and fabricated from a high-chromium tempered martensitic steels developed for nuclear applications. An analytical method was proposed to c ...

Fracture toughness characterization in the lower transition of neutron irradiated Eurofer97 steel

Philippe Spätig, Nazar Ilchuk

This research investigated the evolution of tensile, hardness, and fracture properties of Eurofer97 tempered martensitic steel following neutron irradiation. The irradiation-hardening was measured with Vickers hardness tests on broken parts of sub-sized co ...

On determination of the constitutive behavior of tempered martensitic steels from micro-indentations: Application to Eurofer97 steel

Philippe Spätig, Nazar Ilchuk

This paper proposes a simple but powerful approach to determine the constitutive equation of tempered martensitic steels from micro-hardness tests. Finite element simulations were used to investigate the plastic flow in the contact region between the tip a ...
