Slooter, R.J. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author), Kranendonk, W. G.T. (author), Bos, C. (author)Carbide nano-precipitates are commonly used to improve mechanical properties of steel. It has been experimentally observed that TiC, NbC, and VC carbide precipitates initially form as ‘plate-like’ particles oriented in the {1 0 0} planes of the ferrite lattice. These platelets share similarities with Guinier-Preston zones in Al-Cu alloys. The...journal article 2024

Slooter, R.J. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author), Kranendonk, W. G.T. (author), Bos, C. (author)In this study possible routes from dissolved M and C atoms to a M-C (M = Ti, Nb) cluster are studied. Using atomistic modelling to perform relaxation simulations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for the Fe-M-C ternary system, the formation of clusters is studied for M. Additionally the stability of M-C clusters is assessed. The...journal article 2023

Slooter, R.J. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author), Kranendonk, Winfried G.T. (author), Bos, C. (author)A reference-free modified embedded atom method (RF-MEAM) potential for iron has been constructed. The new potential is made to predict both bcc and fcc (α-Fe and γ-Fe) lattice properties, with a special interest in modelling in the 800-1300 K temperature range. This is the range in which transformations and key processes in steel occur. RF...journal article 2022

Slooter, R.J. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author), Kranendonk, Winfried (author), Bos, C. (author)A new approximation to the equations describing Classical Nucleation and Growth Theories, is proposed providing quick, and intuitive insight. It gives a prediction of the mean precipitate radius and number density development under quasi-isothermal conditions. Current “mean-radius”, and “multi-class” approaches to modelling classical nucleation...journal article 2021
