Austenitic stainless steels offer good property combinations for structural component applications in demanding and aggressive environments, including nuclear power plants, where irradiation assisted degradation failures have been reported [1]. Enhanced irradiation tolerance has been reported for materials containing a high density of internal interfaces that act as point defect annihilation or...

The evolution of microstructure and texture during isochronal annealing of a heavily cold rolled Al–0.3% Cu alloy has been characterized using electron backscatter diffraction. It is found that the rolling texture of this alloy is dominated by the Brass component and that recrystallization during annealing leads to the formation of a pronounced Goss texture. It is suggested that the development...

Rings and split rings of sub-micrometer size are prepared by the infiltration of colloidal crystals of spherical silica particles with diameters of about 1 lm by diluted solutions of tetrachloroauric acid in butanone, followed by the evaporation of the butanone, the annealing of the samples at elevated temperatures and the removal of the silica spheres with hydrofluoric acid. X-ray photoelectro...

This article contains the experimental data for the characterization of ∑3 boundaries in a cold deformed and annealed pure iron. Mentioned data are relevant to the research article " The inter-connections of ∑3 boundaries in pure iron" (Weiguo Wang, Song Chen, Gregory S. Rohrer, Wenzhe Chen, 2017) [1]. The characterization of ∑3 boundaries was performed through an integrated method including el...

Micro-scale laser shock peening LSP can potentially be applied to metallic structures in microdevices to improve fatigue and reliability performance. Copper thin films on a single-crystal silicon substrate are treated by using LSP and characterized using techniques of X-ray microdiffraction and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Strain field, dislocation density, and microstructure change...

Nanorods of goethite, i.e. alpha-FeOOH, were mixed with BaCO3, dispersed in a polymer solution, and oriented under a 90 kOe magnetic field during polymerization. The orientation arose principally from the interaction of the magnetic field with the anisotropic antiferromagnetism of the goethite particles. The oriented antiferromagnetic particles act as seeds for the topochemical growth of BaFe12...

Titania films have been grown on polycrystalline BaTiO3 (BTO) substrates at 7001C by pulsed laser deposition. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to determine grain orientations in the substrate before growth, and the phase and orientation of the supported films after growth. All BaTiO3 grains within 261 of (001) were covered by anatase films with an orientation relationship of (00...
