Static Recrystallization of austenite after initial deformation of a Ni-30Fe alloy

The Static Recrystallization (SRX) phenomenon of austenite in C-Mn steels have a large impact on the final mechanical properties of the steel. However, the austenite recrystallization kinetics are difficult to investigate experimentally, due to solid-state phase transformations during cooling to room temperature. The best model alloys to examine...

Retained austenite in silicon-containing bainitic spring steels for trucks

Bainitic steels are the type of steels which are widely in use, especially in automotive industries, for its good mechanical behavior, i.e., with coexistence of strength, ductility and fatigue resistance. A better understanding on the mechanism and transformation kinetics of bainite are necessary in order to improve the performance of the...

Tungsten Recrystallization Behavior Under Steady and Transient Hydrogen Plasma Loading

Because of its extraordinary material properties, like its high melting point and thermal stress resistance, low erosion and swelling rate, and high radiation damage resistance, highly deformed pure tungsten has been chosen as the plasma facing surface material for the ITER reactor divertor. The study of tungsten’s recrystallization behavior and...
