Marques Pereira, V. (author), Davis, T. P. (author), Mayoral, M. H. (author), Kumar, A. (author), Schut, H. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)Oxide Dispersion Strengthened (ODS) steels are potential candidate materials for application as structural components of fission and fusion reactors, known for their high thermal stability, high resistance to creep and to radiation-induced damage. These attractive properties result from the presence of the fine and highly thermally stable...journal article 2022

Goulas, C. (author), Kumar, A. (author), Mecozzi, M.G. (author), Castro-Cerda, Felipe Manuel (author), Herbig, Michael (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)Atomic-scale investigation was performed on 51CrV4 steel, isothermally held at different temperatures within the bainitic temperature range. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed three different morphologies: lower, upper, and inverse bainite. Atom Probe Tomography (APT) analysis of lower bainite revealed cementite...journal article 2019

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

(author)Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), and Carbon (C) are well known alloying elements used in technologically important alloy steels and advanced high strength steels. It is known that binary CrCx and MnCx carbides can be formed in steels, but in this study we reveal for the first time that Cr and Mn were found combined in novel ternary cementite type ...journal article 2014

(author)A transmission electron microscopy study was conducted on nanoprecipitates formed in Ti microalloyed transformation-inducedplasticity-assisted steels, revealing the presence of Ti(N), Ti2CS and a novel type of ultra-fine Fe(C) precipitate. The matrix/precipitate orientation relationships, sizes and shapes were investigated in detail. The...journal article 2012

(author)Multiphase steels utilising composite strengthening may be further strengthened via grain refinement or precipitation by the addition of microalloying elements. In this study a Nb microalloyed steel comprising martensite, bainite and retained austenite has been studied. By means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we have investigated the...journal article 2011
