Zhang, S. (author), Kwakernaak, C. (author), Tichelaar, F.D. (author), Sloof, W.G. (author), Kuzmina, M. (author), Herbig, M. (author), Raabe, D. (author), Brück, E. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Van Dijk, N.H. (author)The autonomous repair mechanism of creep cavitation during high-temperature deformation has been investigated in Fe-Au and Fe-Au-B-N alloys. Combined electron-microscopy techniques and atom probe tomography reveal how the improved creep properties result from Au precipitation within the creep cavities, preferentially formed on grain boundaries...journal article 2015

Blondé, R.J.P. (author), Jimenez-Melero, E. (author), Huizenga, R.M. (author), Zhao, L. (author), Wright, J. (author), Brück, E.H. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Van Dijk, N.H. (author)The martensitic transformation behaviour of the metastable austenite phase in low-alloyed transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels has been studied in situ using high-energy X-ray diffraction during deformation. The austenite stability during tensile deformation has been evaluated at different length scales. A powder diffraction analysis...journal article 2014

Blondé, R.J.P. (author), Jimenez-Melero, E. (author), Anusuya Ponnusami, S. (author), Zhao, L. (author), Schell, N. (author), Brück, E.H. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Van Dijk, N.H. (author)While earlier studies on transformation-induced-plasticity (TRIP) steels focused on the determination of the austenite-to-martensite decomposition in uniform deformation or thermal fields, the current research focuses on the determination of the local retained austenite-to-martensite transformation behaviour in an inhomogeneous yet carefully...journal article 2014

Zhang, S. (author), Langelaan, G. (author), Schut, H. (author), Brück, E. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Van Dijk, N.H. (author)Steels are among the most widely used construction materials as their mechanical properties can be tuned over a very wide range of desired combinations of strength formability and other properties. However, when exposed for long times to high temperatures steel components can exhibit premature and low-ductility creep fracture, which arises from...conference paper 2013

Zhang, S. (author), Schut, H. (author), Brück, E. (author), Van der Zwaag, S. (author), Van Dijk, N.H. (author)The role of deformation-induced defects and carbon addition on the copper precipitation during aging at 550 oC is investigated in high-purity Fe-Cu-B-N-C alloy samples by Coincidence Doppler Broadening. In samples with 0% and 8% cold pre-strain, the influence of tensile pre-deformation on the precipitation kinetics of copper is studied. The...journal article 2013
