Radiation Induced Microstructural Evolution in Ferritic/Martensitic Steels

Microstructural Characterization of Carburized Steels

*Member of ASM International arburizing has been a popular method for obtaining a unique balance of properties in steels for many years. Steels with low carbon contents are characterized by good toughness and good ductility, but low strength and low wear resistance. By locally increasing the carbon content at the surface, followed by heat treatment to produce a very high hardness in this layer ...

Electropulse-induced microstructural evolution in a ferriticpearlitic 0.14% C steel

Graphene-induced unusual microstructural evolution in Ag plated Cu foils.

Graphene-induced abnormal grain growth of Cu with a grain size of more than 1 mm(2) was observed on Cu-Ag alloy foil, and this phenomenon occurred only with graphene synthesis and only on the Cu-Ag alloy among various types of Cu foils.

Microstructural Evolution in OrthotropicElastic Media

We consider the problem of microstructural evolution in binary alloys in two dimensions. The microstructure consists of arbitrarily shaped precipitates embedded in a matrix. Both the precipitates and the matrix are taken to be elastically anisotropic, with different elastic constants. The interfacial energy at the precipitate– matrix interfaces is also taken to be anisotropic. This is an extens...

Microstructural Evolution of X45CrNiW189 Valve Steel During Hot Deformation

The hot compression tests were carried on X45CrNiW189 valve steel (X45) in the temperature range of 1000– 1200 °C and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperature softening behavior of this steel. For the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effective strain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. On the basis of experi...
