Versteylen, C.D. (author)Advances in self-healing creep steels are driven by the understanding of its mechanism. Previous work on self-healing creep metals has shown selective precipitation inside the creep cavities, which has a beneficial effect on the creep lifetime. This effect occurswhen a solute supersaturation exists at the creep temperature. In the case of self...doctoral thesis 2018

Versteylen, C.D. (author), Szymański, N. K. (author), Sluiter, M.H.F. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author)In recently discovered self healing creep steels, open-volume creep cavities are filled by the precipitation of supersaturated solute. These creep cavities form on the grain boundaries oriented perpendicular to the applied stress. The presence of a free surface triggers a flux of solute from the matrix, over the grain boundaries towards the...journal article 2018
