Krugla, M. (author), Offerman, S.E. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Hanlon, Dave N. (author)The production reality of sheet steels from casting to the end product is such that in the cases of ultra- and advanced high-strength steels, we have to deal with the segregation of elements on macro- and microlevels. Both can have a significant impact on the microstructure formation and resulting properties. There are several production stages...journal article 2024

Morete Barbosa Bertolo, V. (author), Jiang, Q. (author), Terol Sanchez, M. (author), Riemslag, A.C. (author), Walters, C.L. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Popovich, V. (author)High strength steels are widely used for structural applications, where a combination of excellent strength and ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) properties are required. However, such a combination of high strength and toughness can be deteriorated in the heat affected zone (HAZ) after welding. This work aims to develop a relationship...journal article 2023

(author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)The influence of carbon concentration variations on pearlite formation (20 h at 600 °C) in a case-carburized steel is investigated. The resultant microstructure shows three distinct regions: carburized case, a transition region, and the original core. The microstructural transition from the case to the core regions is observed to be...journal article 2023

Yilmaz, A. (author), He, X. (author), Pletincx, Sven (author), Hauffman, Tom (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author)The role of prior austenite grain size (PAGS) on the passive layer properties of martensitic steels is studied. Electron backscatter diffraction analysis shows that PAGS between 5 and 66 µm were obtained after applying different heat treatments. The barrier properties of passive film deteriorate with grain refinement up to 28 µm, attributed to...journal article 2022

Sedighiani, K. (author), Traka, K. (author), Roters, Franz (author), Raabe, Dierk (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Diehl, Martin (author)Physics-based crystal plasticity models rely on certain statistical assumptions about the collective behavior of dislocation populations on one slip system and their interactions with the dislocations on the other slip systems. One main advantage of using such physics-based constitutive dislocation models in crystal plasticity kinematic...journal article 2022

Abraham Mathews, J. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Petrov, R.H. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)Bainite to austenite reversal is one of the grain refinement techniques employed in carburized steels. However, chemical segregation influences the homogeneity of the bainitic structure, which is seminal to exploit the advantages associated with austenite reversal. It is therefore important to understand the influence of chemical segregation...journal article 2022

Chamakura, J.N. (author), Riemslag, A.C. (author), Reinton, T.E. (author), Popovich, V. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)The reversible behaviour of metals at low applied stresses is more complex than the generally assumed linear behaviour. This is primarily because of the reversible nature of dislocation motion leading to a strain contribution known as anelasticity. This work aims to investigate (a) quantification of dislocation structures in industrial grade...journal article 2022

Yilmaz, A. (author), Ozkan, C. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Gonzalez Garcia, Y. (author)The effect of ferrite-pearlite and ferrite-martensite phase combinations on the passive layer properties of low carbon steel is investigated in a 0.1 M NaOH solution. Heat treatments were designed to obtain ferrite-pearlite and ferrite-martensite microstructures with similar ferrite volume fractions. Potentiostatic polarisation and...journal article 2021

(author)A cellular automaton algorithm for curvature-driven coarsening is applied to a cold-rolled interstitial-free steel's microstructure - obtained through electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Recrystallization nucleation occurs naturally during the simulation, due to the highly heterogeneous and hence competitive growth among pre-existing ...journal article 2021

Jiang, Quanxin (author), Morete Barbosa Bertolo, V. (author), Popovich, V. (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Walters, C.L. (author)Macroscale cleavage fracture toughness of high strength steels is strongly related to the fracture of hard microstructural inclusions. Therefore, an accurate determination of the local stress on these inclusions based on the matrix stress is necessary for the statistical modelling of macroscale cleavage fracture. This paper presents...journal article 2021

Marques Pereira, V. (author), Schut, H. (author), Sietsma, J. (author)An approach to improve the performance of steels for fusion reactors is to reinforce them with oxide nanoparticles. These can hinder dislocation and grain boundary movement and trap radiation-induced defects, thus increasing creep and radiation damage resistance. The present work investigates the thermal stability of the microstructure and...journal article 2020

Navarro Lopez, A. (author), Hidalgo Garcia, J. (author), Sietsma, J.

Celada-Casero, Carola (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Santofimia, Maria Jesus (author)There is sufficient experimental evidence to propose that the formation kinetics of athermal martensite directly depends on the austenite grain structure from which the martensite forms. Yet, this dependence is frequently ignored. The present study investigates the role of the prior austenite grain size (PAGS) in the martensitic...journal article 2019
