The austenite-ferrite transformation is the key metallurgical tool to tailor properties of low
alloyed steels and remains an active area of research. Models have yet to be developed …

This study reported an effective strategy for simultaneously enhancing the strength and
hydrogen embrittlement resistance of laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) 18Ni300 maraging …

The effects of heat treatment on the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) susceptibility of selective
laser melted 18Ni-300 maraging steel were investigated. The results demonstrate that the as …

We present our recent development of an integrated mesoscale digital twin (DT) framework
for relating processing conditions, microstructures, and mechanical responses of additively …

The phase-field method is used as a powerful and versatile computational method to
simulate the microstructural evolution taking place during solid-state phase transformations …

Despite a wealth of experimental studies focused on determining and improving mechanical
properties and development of fundamental understanding of underlying mechanisms …

Nucleation is the re-arrangement of a small number of atoms in the structure of a material
leading to a new phase. According to the classical nucleation theory, a nucleus will grow if …

Two-step nucleation, in which a metastable intermediate phase acts as a precursor for
nucleating a thermodynamically stable phase, has been widely observed in many materials …

A density-based phase field model is developed where the free energy functional is
explicitly linked with molecular dynamics and is referred to as the Molecular Phase Field …

Metastable β‐titanium (β‐Ti) alloys, because of their combination of high specific strength,
superior corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility, have found increasingly …
