Crystal Cartography: Mapping Nanostructure with Scanning Electron Diffraction
(2019-08-23)Nanostructure describes the network of defective and distorted atomic structure existing on the nanoscale within materials. This nanostructure bridges the gap between idealised crys- talline structure and real materials, ... -
Novel integrated computational approach for designing Fe-Ni-based alloys
(2019-08-31)A novel computational approach for designing high temperature alloys is proposed; the approach incorporates properties prediction and optimisation. As for properties prediction, microstructural parameters, such as the ... -
Hydrogen in Austenite: What Changes after Martensitic Transformation?
(2019-07-10)Diffusible hydrogen in steels can cause embrittlement. Hydrogen has much lower diffusivity in austenite than in ferrite. Therefore, austenite is relatively immune to embrittlement. However, the poor stability of austenite ... -
Analysis and modelling of the dislocation response during non-isothermal creep in Ni-SX superalloys
(2019-10-26)Nickel-based single-crystal superalloys are commonly used as the material of choice for turbine blades in modern aircrafts. The temperatures and stresses in the turbine are subject to continuous change during in-flight ...
