Modelling of Microstructure Development in Silicon-containing Bainitic Free-machining Steels
(2017-06-14)This research aims to model the microstructure development of Si-containing bainitic free-machining steel, including allotriomorphic ferrite, idiomorphic ferrite, pearlite, Widmanstatten ferrite, bainite and martensite. ... -
Multi-Microscopy Characterisation of III-Nitride Devices and Materials
(2017-04-21)III-nitride optoelectronic devices have become ubiquitous due to their ability to emit light efficiently in the blue and green spectral ranges. Specifically, III-nitride light emitting diodes (LEDs) have become widespread ... -
Structural and thermodynamic properties of sodium actinide ternary oxides
(Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, 2015-10-06)In the potential event of a clad breach in a Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR), the sodium metallic coolant could come into contact with the (U,Pu,Np)$O_2$ nuclear fuel. The reaction products are numerous, but there is ... -
Wear of fine pearlite, nanostructured bainite and martensite
(Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, 2017-01-16)Abrasion is a form of wear prominent particularly in the agricultural, mining, mineral and transportation industries. The cost of abrasive wear to the national economy is estimated to be about 1% of the gross national ...
