Microstructural evolution and metastability in active materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mctastable systems pose significant problems in both analysis and simulation. We discuss here the evolution of microstructure in a shape-memory alloy where energetic contributions from disparate scales play determining roles. This is a challenge for modelling since the finest length scales cannot be 'seen* at macroscopic level. We then provide a mechanism for kinetics that gives a different notion metastability.

Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of Ultrafine/nano Structured AISI 321 Stainless Steel Produced by Thermo-mechanical Processing
The mechanical properties and microstructural developments of 321 stainless steel during thermomechanical process were investigated. The repetitive cold rolling and subsequent annealing were conducted to achieve nanocrystalline structure in an AISI 321 stainless steel. Heavily cold rolling at −20°C was conducted to form martensite in metastable austenitic steel. The process was followed by anne...

The purpose of present research was production ofZr-based alloy as the nuclear fuel cladding by mechanical alloying (MA) and sintering process. Firstly, Zr and Cr powders were mechanically alloyed to produce the refractory and hard Zr-10 wt% Cr alloy, and then, the powder mixtures were consolidated by press and following sintering at temperature of 800˚C min. The phase evolution, microstructura...
متن کاملMicrostructural Evolution of Roll Bonded Al-Clad Stainless Steel Sheets at Elevated Temperatures
The cold roll bonding of Al on AISI 304L stainless steel was carried out to fabricate the Al/304L/Al clad sheet composites. The maximum bond strength of 20 N/mm was acquired just by 38% reduction, for which the tearing of the aluminum sheet occurred during the peeling test. The microstructural evolution during subsequent postannealing heat treatment was systematically studied based on the impur...

Crystalline tantalum thin films of about 500nm thickness were deposited on AISI 316L stainless steel substrate using magnetron sputtering. To investigate the nano-mechanical properties of tantalum films, deposition was performed at two temperatures (25°C and 200°C) on TaNx intermediate layer with different N2/Ar flow rate ratio from 0 to 30%. Nano-indentation was performed to obtain the mechani...
