Fu, J. (author), Davis, T. P. (author), Kumar, A. (author), Richardson, I.M. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author)Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are leading candidates for structural materials in nuclear fission and fusion power plants. Understanding the nature of nano-oxide particles in ODS steels is vital for a better control of the microstructure and mechanical properties to further their applications. In this study, electron microscopy...journal article 2021

Fu, J. (author), van Slingerland, J. (author), Brouwer, J.C. (author), Bliznuk, Vitaliy (author), Richardson, I.M. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author)Pulsed laser beam welding was used successfully to join the oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) Eurofer steel. The joining was conducted with a laser power of 2500 W and a pulsed duration of 4 ms. With the filler material being used, a minor material loss and microvoids were observed in the joint. The microstructure of the fusion zone...journal article 2020

Eftekharimilani, P. (author), van der Aa, EM (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author), Richardson, I.M. (author)This paper presents the effects of double pulse resistance spot welding (RSW) on the microstructural evolution, elemental distribution and mechanical properties of a 3rd generation 1 GPa advanced high strength steel (AHSS). In order to investigate the effect of double pulsing, the steel was exposed to single and various double pulse RSW...journal article 2017

Fu, J. (author), Brouwer, J.C. (author), Hendrikx, R.W.A. (author), Richardson, I.M. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author)The present work deals with oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) Eurofer steel fabricated by powder metallurgy involving mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering. A heat treatment route including normalising and tempering was applied to the as-produced steel, based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement. The...journal article 2020

Fu, J. (author), Brouwer, J.C. (author), Richardson, I.M. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author)Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)Eurofer steel was prepared via mechanical alloying (MA)and spark plasma sintering (SPS). Different combinations of MA and SPS parameters were adopted in order to optimise the fabrication process. The experimental results show that the sample milled for 30 h, sintered at 1373 K at a pressure of 60 MPa has...journal article 2019
