Micromechanics of oxide inclusions in ferrous alloys
Oxide inclusions are inevitably present in steel as a direct consequence of the steelmaking process; as a result, a cubic centimetre of modern steel will generally contain about a million of these hard and brittle micrometre-sized ceramic particles. Inclus ...
EPFL2023Processing and micro-mechanical characterization of multi-component transition MC carbides in iron
Andreas Mortensen, Goran Zagar, Léa Deillon, Marta Fornabaio, Lionel Michelet
We prepare multi-component transition monocarbides of chosen composition by arc-melting together a pre-alloy of the transition metals and cast iron. Based on the elements Ti, Ta, V, Nb and W, 51 different binary, ternary and quaternary compositions are pro ...
2021Hydro-mechanical response of Opalinus Clay shale: dependency on composition and burial depth
Shales are sedimentary formation currently studied for their involvement in many geo-energy related applications, such as radioactive waste disposal, CO2 sequestration, oil and gas extraction.
In Switzerland the Opalinus Clay shale has been selected has ho ...
EPFL2019Calcium phosphate formation on titanium-based surfaces: bioactivity evaluated by in vitro methods
The prediction of implant behaviors in vivo by the use of easy-to-perform in vitro methods is of great interest in biomaterials research. In the field of bone implants, it is commonly accepted that a spontaneous formation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) layer on ...
