Most industrial alloys contain a matrix phase and dispersed second-phase particles. Several
thermomechanical processing (TMP) steps are usually needed to produce a final product …

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is one of the most important techniques for
microstructure determination, being utilized in a wide range of scientific disciplines, such as …

Advanced ultra-high strength steels are highly desirable for a wide range of engineering
applications. Nanoscale co-precipitation strengthening in steels has received increasing …

Reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) and oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS)
steels are the most promising candidates for fusion first-wall/blanket (FW/B) structures. The …

We report on the alloy design strategies, precipitation mechanism and mechanical
properties of an ultra-high strength steel hardened by co-precipitation of nanoscale NiAl and …

There is an increasing demand for ultrahigh-strength ferritic steels strengthened by
nanoprecipitates. Improvement of the precipitation strengthening response requires an …

The local composition of small, coherent Cu-rich precipitates with a metastable body-
centered cubic structure in a ferritic α-Fe matrix of a high-strength low-carbon steel was …

The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels used in current nuclear power plants embrittle as a
consequence of the continuous irradiation with neutrons. Among other radiation effects, the …

G115 steel has gained a growing interesting recently for its use in next-generation ultra-
supercritical power plant applications. Due to the high densities of dislocations and lath …

Atom probe tomography has played a key role in the understanding of the embrittlement of
neutron irradiated reactor pressure vessel steels through the atomic level characterization of …
