Kumar, A. (author), Saxena, A. K. (author), Kirchlechner, C. (author), Herbig, M. (author), Brinkmann, S. (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)Failure in engineering materials like steels is strongly affected by in-service deleterious alterations in their microstructure. White Etching Layers (WELs) are an example of such in-service alterations in the pearlitic microstructure at the rail surface. Cracks initiate in the rails due to delamination and fracture of these layers and...journal article 2019

Kim Lee, B.N. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)Understanding carbon redistribution in steels is crucial in developing advanced high strength steels. For instance, Quenching & Partitioning (Q&P) processes rely on the partitioning of carbon from martensite into austenite, where at the end of the heat treatment the carbon-enriched austenite shows higher stability at room temperature....journal article 2017
