Effect of C on the martensitic transformation in Fe-C alloys in the presence of pre-existing defects: A molecular dynamics study

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the atomic effects of carbon (C) addition in Fe on the martensitic phase transformation in the presence of pre-existing defects such as stacking faults and twin boundaries. The pre-existing defect structures in Fe-C alloys have the same effect on the atomistic mechanisms of martensitic...

Effect of pre-existing defects in the parent fcc phase on atomistic mechanisms during the martensitic transformation in pure Fe: A molecular dynamics study

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study the effect of different defect configurations and their arrangements in the parent fcc phase on atomistic mechanisms during the martensitic transformation mechanisms in pure Fe. The defect configurations considered are stacking faults (SF) and twin boundaries (TB) in single crystal fcc. Three...
