We report evidence of a displacive phase transformation from retained austenite to
martensite during preparation of quenched and partitioned steel micro-pillars by using a …

Deformation response of ferrite and martensite in a commercially produced dual-phase
sheet steel with a nominal composition of 0.15% C–1.45% Mn–0.30% Si (wt.%) was …

There is substantial concern about the phase change to artificial ferrite or martensite in
commercial austenitic stainless steels during intense focused-ion-beam milling. In this work …

The subsurface microstructure of machined, heat-treated and shot peened samples of
pearlitic steel was studied by focused ion beam (FIB) microscopy. Samples with flat surfaces …

The deformation mechanisms of the metastable austenite phase of a transformation induced
plasticity (TRIP) stainless steel, AISI 301LN, have been investigated by compression of …

A highly stable austenite phase in a super duplex stainless steel was subjected to a
combination of different gallium ion doses at different acceleration voltages. It was shown …

By stabilising metastable austenite with a suitable morphology in a martensitic structure, it is
possible to impart to multi-phase steels high ductility combined with tensile strengths …

Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is the typical method used to fabricate micropillars to study
small-scale plasticity and size effects in uniaxial compression. However, FIB milling can …

This paper describes a state of the art in micro-structuring high strength metallic materials.
Tungsten micro pin arrays in a variety of shapes are fabricated using a micro carving …

In this contribution, for the first time, the effect of crystal orientation on the critical stress for
martensitic transformation in a medium Mn steel is explicitly revealed by using micropillar …
